Next Generation Network (NGN) is a term to
describe key architectural evolutions in telecommunication core and access
networks that will be deployed from 2010. In NGN only one network will transport
all information and services (voice, data, video, etc.) by encapsulating these
into IP packets. NGNs are commonly built around IP routing and GMPLS
technologies A Next Generation Network (NGN) will be a carrier-grade
environment able to provide services including telecommunication services.
Service-related functions will be independent from underlying transport-related
technologies. The NGN will offer unrestricted access by users to different
service providers. Moreover, NGN will support generalized mobility which will
allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users. This workshop is an annual international workshop, aiming to serve as a
platform for researchers and visionaries from academia, research labs, and
industry. NGN 2010 will take place in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
