[dispatch] Fwd: [SIPForum-techwg] There's Still Time to Submit a SIPNOC 2014 Proposal

[Mary Barnes <[e-mail]>]

HI all,

The proposed topics for this conference are directly applicable to work in
RAI WGs.  Folks might want to consider submitting a contribution for the
conference.  Many of the attendees are folks that manage and operate the
networks so you'll hear first hand of some of the challenges they have and
it's a good opportunity to share some of the newer work that's happening
that might help address some of their challenges.

Regards,
Mary.

deployment of SIP in service provider environments.

To view the official call for presentations, which includes instructions on
submitting material and specific SIPNOC policies, please visit
www.sipforum.org/content/view/374/275/. To submit, visit
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sipnoc2014.

Topics can include SIP peering, SIP trunking, Emergency Services,
Congestion Control, Scaling and Capacity Issues, SIP-based applications,
Routing, Security, SIP-Network Operations Center Best Practices, IPv6
deployment challenges, User-agent Configuration, Standardization Issues and
Progress, HD voice deployments, Video Interoperability, WebRTC and SIP,
FoIP/T.38 Deployment, Testing or other issues facing SIP network
operations.

SIPNOC 2014 offers several different types of speaking opportunities
including:

   - General Session Talks: A General Session presentation should be on a
   topic of interest to the general SIPNOC audience, and may be up to 30
   minutes long (including time for Q&A).
   - General Session Panels: Panels are sessions with a moderator and a
   team of panelists. The panel moderator should submit an abstract on the
   panel topic, a list of panelists, and how the panel will be organized.
   Panel selection is based on the importance, originality, focus and
   timeliness of the topic, expertise of proposed panelists, as well as the
   potential for informative and controversial discussion.
   - Special Workshops: The SIPNOC 2014 program has been expanded to
   include special workshops that run for 2-3 hours, providing time to focus
   in-depth on a variety of issues important to the SIPNOC community. Topics
   can include a review of SIP RFCs and standards development, the regulatory
   environment, etc.
   - Research Topics: Researchers are invited to present short summaries of
   their work for operator feedback. Topics may include call routing, network
   performance, statistical measurement and analysis and protocol development
   and implementation. Studies presented may be works in progress. Researchers
   from academia, government, and industry are encouraged to present.
   - BOFs: BOFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) are informal sessions on
   topics which are of interest to a portion of the SIPNOC community. BOFs may
   be held in break‐out areas or in an unscheduled room. Requests for
   scheduled BOFs can be made at any time, including on site at the conference.
