Call for Papers
                       MATA '2005
2nd International Workshop on Mobility Aware Technologies and
Applications
- Service Delivery Platforms for Next Generation Networks -
October 17-19, 2005, Montreal, Canada
http://www.congresbcu.com/mata2005/

Scope

In face of the emerging notion of seamless services and next
generation networks (NGNs) driven by the convergence of the mobile
internet and fixed / mobile telecommunication networks, mobility aware
technologies and middleware play an important role.

The aim of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for academic and
industrial researchers and developers from the IT, internet and
telecommunications domains, as well as network operators, and service
providers to discuss the advances in mobility aware technologies and
their applications in the field of NGN.  The workshop will focus on
new concepts, protocols and architectures as well as recent
developments of mobility aware middleware, service delivery platform
technologies and related applications within the fields of terminal,
network and service provisioning and management, service control for
multimedia services, policy-based service control and management,
adaptable telecommunication systems and applications, programmable
networks and devices / autonomic communications, ambient networks,
intelligent appliances, smart end systems and smart environments,

Emphasis will be given to specific MATA aspects, such as security,
interoperability, performance, context awareness, mobility and
presence management, as well as new mobile application fields,
business models and related topics.
