The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Broadband Convergence Networks (BcN 
2008)

April 11, 2008, Salvador, Brazil (In conjunction with IEEE/IFIP NOMS2008)

Convergence is a key design aspect for next generation
networks. The seamless integration of the wireless and wired
network architectures, point to point and broadcasting
communications, data and multimedia oriented services, mobile
and cellular systems, sensors networks, fast fiber and long
delay networks remains a challenging endeavor. The end-to-end
picture becomes unclear to say the least.

As new technologies meet old ones, many need to be revisited
to fit into this complex scenario. In this Workshop, we will
look at the latest advances in Broadband technologies
including IEEE 802.11e Wireless LAN, 802.16 Wireless MAN
(WiBro, WiMax) and 3G/4G wireless cellular networks and their
SIP based IMS platform, broadband access networks such as
xDSL and Cable and examine their use for emerging streaming,
multicast and broadcast applications such as IPTV.

We also welcome research into next generation architectures
and their management. Architectural design issues such as
naming and addressing, routing and service scalability, late
binding, cross layer design, mobility and heterogeneous
support, service orchestration, among others are also
encouraged into the broadband context.

This 3rd edition of the event builds on the success of the
1st. IEEE International Workshop on Broadband Convergence
Networks (BcN2006) held on April the 7th. 2006 in Vancouver,
Canada, in conjunction with IEEE/IFIP NOMS2006), and the 2007
edition held on the 21st of 2007 in Munich, Germany (In
conjunction with IEEE/IFIP IM2007).

We seek to draw researchers with different backgrounds to
share their experience and knowledge of the current status of
standardization and technology development of BcN, to discuss
challenges and present possible solutions and innovations for
the challenges that broadband networking brings forward.

Topics of interest for this workshop include, but not limited
to, the following:

- Trends in Broadband networking, Architectures and Standardization
- Converged networking issues for telecommunication and broadcasting
- Fixed and Mobile Networks Convergence
- IMS and Telecom convergence
- Next Generation Networks
- Broadband Access networking with hybrid fiber optic and wireless network
