WTC 2012 invites proposals for one-day or half-day workshops, which will be held prior (March 4, 2012) or immediately after (March 7, 2012) the main WTC 2012 Technical Program. The WTC 2012 brings together leading experts from industry, academia and government to map out the future requirements for telecommunications technologies, applications and policy. The main purpose of the WTC 2012 workshops is to provide participants with an international forum and opportunity to discuss novel research ideas and challenges on dramatic changes in network architecture, service capabilities, and business models in response to emerging needs and applications. We are planning to hold the following two workshops.
Workshop Title
- Cloud Computing in the Telecom Environment, Bridging the Gap
- Software Defined Networks (SDN) and OpenFlow
