(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) The third Symposium on Broadband Networks and Fast Internet Technically Sponsored by: IEEE (Pending) and IEEE COMSOC (Pending) May 28 - 29, 2012, Baabda - Lebanon http://www.relabira.com <https://webmail.upa.edu.lb/owa/redir.aspx?C=6d5b8c4d43ed47848a5a74d6f5e 6ef6a&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.relabira.com> Overview ================================= RELABIRA'2012 is the third International Symposium on Broadband Networks and Fast Internet that will be held from 28 to 29 May, 2012 at the main campus of the Antonine University in Baabda, Lebanon. This Symposium is organized by the Faculty of Engineering at the Antonine University with the collaboration of France Telecom R&D and Rennes 1 University. RELABIRA'2012 is technically sponsored by: IEEE (Pending) and IEEE COMSOC (Pending). This 3rd edition of the symposium, which is free of charge, discusses the technical, economic, judicial and social impacts on deploying a broadband network and the migration towards new Internet-oriented technologies in core networks as well as mobile and fixed access networks. All key actors, governments, industry and academia are becoming more aware of the increasing applications usage while surfing websites, which needs a rich bandwidth connection and a high service quality. Enlarging the spectrum of discussed subjects related to the main theme gave this symposium its identity. The main idea is to treat all technical aspects related to the subject of the symposium in addition to one non technical session that introduces, each time, a new controversial subject. The non technical theme in RELABIRA'2012 is the "Sustainable development and logical recycling". In this 3rd edition, the symposium program will feature three invited keynote speakers, both from industry and academia. ** Important Dates ** ================================= Papers submission: March 09, 2012 Camera ready submission: May 09, 2012 Acceptance Notification: April 09, 2012 Symposium dates: May 28-29, 2012 Topics of interest ================================= The research sessions will include presentations of latest research projects and papers, on the following topics (but not limited to): 1. Broadband fixed networks infrastructure: - Optical networks and switching technologies (OCS, OBS, OPS, etc.) - Submarine networks - Optical access networks (PON, EPON, GPON, XGPON, etc.) - Multi-level routing protocol (GMPLS) - Protection and restoration - Technical constraints awareness 2. Broadband wireless networks infrastructure: - Broadband mobile networks engineering - New generation mobile networks (NGN): 3G, 4G, HSPA, LTE, WiMAX, etc. - Software Radio and Software Defined Radio - Modulation and multiplexing technologies in mobile networks - Ad hoc networks (MANET) for Multimedia applications 3.
