Who Should Attend:
The tutorial is for both IMS/NGN newcomers, needing a comprehensive introduction to the complex subject area, as well NGN/IMS experts, who deserve an update on the rapid changes in the world of convergence, where services and service enablement becomes much more important than just providing plain network technologies. This course provides a lot of practical feedback from real life experiences of an independent research organization making it different from vendor and operator specific workshops.
About Your Workshop Leader
Thomas Magedanz (PhD) is full professor in the electrical engineering and computer sciences faculty at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany, leading the chair for next generation networks (www.av.tu-berlin.de). In addition, he is director of the “next generation network infrastrcuture” division of the Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS (www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/ngni ), which also provides various Next Generation Network toolkits and testbeds. The most popular are the Open Source IMS Core (www.openimscore.org ) and the Open IMS Playground (www.open-ims.org). In 2007 he opened the new Open SOA Telco Playground (www.opensoaplayground.org) and the Media Interoperability Laboratory (www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/go/mil/). Since more than 20 years Prof. Magedanz is working in the convergence field of fixed and mobile telecommunications, the internet and information technologies, which resulted in many industry driven R&D projects centred around Next Generation Service Delivery platforms. In the course of his research activities he published more than 200 technical papers/articles. In addition, Prof Magedanz is senior member of the IEEE, editorial board member of several journals.
