ICIN 2009 Call for Papers now closed
Over the 20 years leading to ICIN 2009, this series of conferences has become uniquely established as the industry forum which addresses intelligence in Information and Communications Technology (ICT). ICIN has a track record of identifying key technology and service trends and analysing their influence on business models before they become widely recognized. ICIN conferences are renowned for their debates on the impact of emerging technology, architecture and industry trends on intelligent, software-driven services.
Currently the telecom service providers are at full speed in rolling out high capacity bit pipes including NGA (Next Generation Access) to their subscribers. Examples are High Speed ADSL, Passive Optical Networks and various kinds of wireless network technology. Over the next years these pipes will be filled with new kinds of content and services, generated by service providers, users and other application and media providers. ICIN 2009 will highlight the new opportunities that this amazing future will open up as seen from both the technical and business perspectives at one event.
The focus of ICIN 2009 is on new and emerging business models, technology and value chains based on communications networks and devices. ICIN 2009 will highlight future services, enablers and architectures that will drive the market for communications products and services in the emerging high speed IP environment.
