Second Call for Papers 4th International Conference on Intelligence in Services and Networks Como, Milano - Italy May 27-29, 1997

The market increasingly demands the availability of multimedia and multiparty services with extensive support of mobility features, and regulatory bodies are shaping the context in which fair competition is guaranteed. Building on the success of the three previous IS&N conferences, IS&N'97 will address technology for cooperative competition expected in the telecommunications services market place.

The conference provides a forum for the discussion of issues and the exchange of outstanding technical results related to the engineering of advanced communication services and experiments on their use.

Industrial fora like DAVIC, ATM-Forum, TINA-C, Eurescom, OMG, NMF, and IETF, and standardisation bodies like ITU-T, ETSI, and ANSI are strongly invited to share their visions.

Whilst the main theme of the conference will relate to technology, contributions are also invited addressing market and regulatory aspects.

This Conference is jointly sponsored by the European Commission and Italtel and is supported by the ACTS projects in the IS&N Domain. Further information about this conference and the associated ACTS R&D activities on service engineering is available on the WWW at http://www.infowin.org/ACTS/RUS/PROJECTS/DOMAINS/d5.htm.

Contributions are invited on (but not limited to) topics such as:

• open architectures and interfaces
• evolution of Intelligent Networks and migration issues
• open distributed processing for communication services
• human machine interfaces
• management, security and integrity of services and systems
• interdomain management
• service interaction
• intelligent agent technology
• quality of service
• service analysis and design
• new trends in multimedia and mobile services
