IPTComm brings together researchers from academia, industry and government to discuss challenges, share ideas, views, results and experiences in IP communications research and services. The conference addresses current topics such as programmable network services, internet of things, machine learning in interactive communications with focus on the reliability, security, privacy, performance and scalability, as well as on the applicability of these technologies for public-safety applications such as Next Generation 9-1-1. We invite paper submissions addressing theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative systems, prototyping efforts, case studies and technological advancements.
IPTComm is hosted by the IIT Real-Time Communications (RTC) Conference, at the Chicago campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). In addition to hosting the IPTComm Research track, the RTC Conference will have tracks related to IoT, WebRTC, Programmable Telecom Networks, and NextGen Emergency Services, along with the co-located TAD Summit Americas. The demonstrations and presentations in these tracks will complement the material to be presented in the IPTComm track and serve as a source of new ideas and research partners in industry. The Call for Speakers for these remaining tracks will be issued in early Spring, and will be accessible via the Conference website.
Papers accepted by IPTComm will be published in IEEE Xplore. The list of topics for IPTComm includes but is not limited to:
| Emerging Technologies and Applications | Management and Resilience |
| Programmable networks and edge computing WebRTC and cloud-based IP communications Augmented reality and virtual reality applications 5G Networks: applications, proof of concepts and research issues Public safety applications and Next Generation 9-1-1 Communication applications (e.g., finance, energy, healthcare, education, transportation) | Scaling, monitoring and management Benchmarking Quality of Experience (QoE) Effects of virtualization on quality of IP communication systems Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networks (SDN) Autonomous Network management |
