Objectives: The opening session will give a view of NGN today, and
provide an overview of the regulatory frameworks affecting NGN deployment.
Welcome address: Malcolm JOHNSON (TSB Director)
Keynote address: NTT's challenge: create new business on the NGN: Takashi HANAZAWA (Senior
Vice President, Senior Executive Director, Research and Development Planning
Department, NTT)
NGN: Market trends and Regulatory issues: Tim KELLY (TSB)
1015 - 1045
Coffee break
1045 - 1245
SESSION 1: Service Scenarios I - Broadcasting, multicasting
Session Chairman: Ghassem KOLEYNI (Nortel)
Objectives: The support of streaming type services over NGN is an
important and challenging issue. Offering currently available services over
NGN, in addition to entirely new services, will bring additional value to
subscribers and providers. This session will identify the various challenges
and important issues relating to broadcast, multicast, QoS, security,
digital rights management (DRM), middleware, applications and content
platforms.
Multicast and unicast: each in its place: Daniel O'CALLAGHAN (Verizon)
AAA Issues in Multicast-Enabled Environments: Christian JACQUENET (France Telecom)
The Present and Future of Visual Surveillance services: Xu HEYUAN (CATR, MII, P.R. China)
Multimedia Application for IPTV: Masahito KAWAMORI (NTT)
1245 - 1400
Lunch break
1400 - 1530
SESSION 2: Service Scenarios II – Person-to-person communications
Session Chairman: Sakae OKUBO (Japan)
Objectives: Real-time conversational multimedia services have been a
challenge to packet networks, but NGN promises great opportunities for this
type of service with respect to bandwidth, QoS and security. This session
will explore what new features can be created for real-time conversational
type of multimedia services by capitalizing on the NGN and also seeks to
understand what additional network capabilities are desired for the NGN from
the user perspective.
Videoconferencing trends: high definition, telepresence and beyond: Håkon DAHLE (Tandberg)
Advanced multimedia system: Paul JONES (Rapporteur Q2/16)
Peer-to-peer (P2P) telecom solutions: Ning ZONG (Huawei Technologies)
Enhanced Multimedia User Experience beyond 3G: Minoru ETOH (NTT DoCoMo Research Laboratories)
1530 - 1600
Coffee break
1600 - 1730
SESSION 3: Service Scenarios III - Object-to-object communications
Session Chairman: Tony RUTKOWSKI (Verisign, USA)
Objectives: The extension of IP connectivity and the increasing
integration of IT technologies into devices are leading the demand for
object-to-object communications. This demand is now extending to cover more
diverse applications using NGN, especially in fixed/mobile converged
environments. In this context, special attention must be given to identity
management (IdM). This session will discuss identity modalities for each
specific communication type as well as their handling mechanisms. Scenarios
and their requirements for network functions and capabilities will be
identified considering the evolution of interactive communication between
objects.
Toward a coherent framework to support global IdM requirements: Tony RUTKOWSKI (VeriSign)
Multimedia delivery services triggered by object and places in the real world: Noboru KOSHIZUKA (YRP Ubiquitous Networking Laboratory, Japan)
USN Applications and Services: Hyung-jun KIM (ETRI)
1730 - 1745
Short break
1745 - 1900
WRAP-UP SESSION I
Review and Discussions of the conclusions of Sessions 1,2 and 3
SESSION 1: Service Scenarios I - Broadcasting,
multicasting
SESSION 2: Service Scenarios II -
Person-to-person communications
SESSION 3: Service Scenarios III - Object-to-object
communications
SESSION 4: Using NGN capabilities to deliver multimedia services
Session Chairman: Leo LEHMANN (OFCOM, Switzerland)
Objectives: Due to an increasing demand to deploy advanced multimedia
applications like interactive (video) conferencing, whiteboarding and
collaboration across a number of networks and access methods, the importance
of service aspects has significantly increased. Service requirements and
service architecture must also consider quality, service security and
service mobility from an end-to-end perspective. MM applications are
typically subject to application-specific security and QoS needs that could
be best fulfilled by security measures at the application layer and by
complementary network security means, as appropriate. This session will
concentrate on new developments and progress in the area of NGN capabilities
concerning QoS, security and service mobility in order to support multimedia
applications and systems.
Towards a SOA/WS enabled NGN Open Service Environment: Marco CARUGI (Nortel)
Multimedia technologies for NGN, mobile multimedia services: Marwan JABRI (Dilithium)
Enabling NGN QoS through Policy-Based Resource and Admission Control: Hui-Lan LU (Alcatel-Lucent)
1030 - 1100
Coffee break
1100 - 1210
SESSION 5: The future of NGN
Session Chairman: John VISSER (Nortel)
Objectives: NGN includes the major themes of convergence and
mobility. This session will look at the convergence of fixed and mobile
services within telecoms, and more broadly the convergence of telecoms, IT
and broadcast. This convergence is closely linked to the evolution of
enabling access technologies, and especially what emerging broadband mobile
wireless access technologies ("4G") mean to the evolution of NGNs and the
services they support.
Fixed-mobile convergence: Evolution of IMS: Stephen HAYES (Ericsson, Chair 3GPP-SA)
The Converged Office: John VISSER (Nortel)
Impact of multimedia applications to 4G networks and enhancements: Caroline CHAN and Paul Simmons (Nortel Networks)
