International Journal of Next-Generation Networks (IJNGN) ISSN : 0975-7023 (Online)0975-7252 (Print) http://www.airccse.org/journal/ijngn/ijngn Scope & Topics: Today, Mobile communications play a central role in the voice/data network arena. The future in telecommunication systems goes towards a split between the network provider and the service provider, and a convergence of media distribution and communication networks. However, a key critical success factor is focused telecommunications industry attention on Next Generation Networking (NGN)service concepts and how these concepts can be realized in an NGN environment, from the edges to the core of the network. This focus is lacking today, with most of the attention on specific NGN technology issues. Research and development on Next-Generation Networks (NGNs) have been carried out over the last few years. This Journal proposed on the basis of observation of new and interesting services that utilize these NGNs. The Journal aims to present the latest developments and technical solutions in the areas of NGN system and multimedia services, and related deployment, performance, security and mobility. We welcome high quality paper for the following areas of NGN Telecommunication services & networking: Next Generation Communications System • Network Convergence Issue, Architecture, Applications • 3G and 4G Wireless Technologies • Long Term Evaluation (LTE) • Performance Evaluation of NGN Networks • Experimental and Simulated Testbeds • Mobility Across Networks • Vehicular Communications • P2P Architectures for NGN • Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) • Architectures & Deployment for IMS • IMS Core Services • IMS Mobility • IMS Integration with other network and Services • IMS Security Multimedia Communications • Quadruple Play • Multicast & Broadcast over NGN • IPTV • Mobile TV • Cross-layer Optimization for Multimedia Service Support NGN Activities • M-Health over NGN • Tested Design and Deployments • Social Networking, and Location-based Services for NGN • Web 2.0 and NGN • Case Studies of NGN Services • Application development frameworks and tools • Service Creation, Delivery, and Management • NGN Security deployment, Observation • User Data Privacy in NGN Paper submission: Authors are invited to submit papers for this journal through e-mail ijngnjournal@yahoo.com or ijngnjournal@airccse.org Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this Journal.
