ttm7 convergence fall 2007

Time&place: Thursdays 0915-1100 in Room B333

Some of the material (and some student presentations) may be placed on It'sLearning. It is important that all students are registered on It's Learning. You must also accept the invitation to join the project convergence.

More details of the schedule here

Different types of convergence

• FMC (fixed-mobile conv.), (as seen from network, service and user perspectives)
  • Mobile IP and other mobility issues
  • IMS
    • WLAN, UTRAN and fixed access to IMS
    • VHE Virtual Home Environment
  • CSCW studies of desktops and mobiles
• IS/IT - telecom conv. (as seen from network and service perspectives)
  • This includes QoS and security issues for VoIP (network)
  • as well as some papers from ubiquitous computing (service /user perspective)
• business convergence
  • incl. digital media convergence
• private/home and public/office convergence
  • this includes open access networks (such as OBAN)
  • but also CSCW aspects such as having a home office
• Aspects of 'non-convergence' will also be covered in the course, as well as 'hybrid' systems

Themes (each theme to be covered by one group of 3-4-5 students, presenting for 1-2 weeks)

• VoIP / mobility
  • possible aspects: mobility, VAS, QoS and security
  • tentative papers 1, (2, 3), 4, 5, 6, (7, 13), 14, 22, 23,
• Open networks, OBAN and UMA(/GAN) :
  • possible aspects: architecture, QoS, business and security,
  • Tentative papers 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 15, (16),
• 'Mobile internet', new digital media
  • tentative papers 18, 19(/21), 20, 22
• Ubiq. comp., presence and user aspects
  • ( a bit of everything in this category, and overlapping papers with some of the prevous themes...)
  • tentative papers 9, 10, 11, 12, (13), 14, (16), 17, 18, (19/) 21, 24

Curriculum (almost finished) Papers: 1,4,5,6,8,9,10, 11, 12, 14, 16?,17, 18,19/21, 20, 22, 23, 24)
