Special Issue on IP Communication Services
The success of Internet telephony applications has demonstrated the feasibility of IP communications to support
millions of concurrent users. What started initially as a technology for toll-bypass in the switched telephone
network has now grown to subsume the switched telephone network. However, creating scalable innovative
services for Internet telephony in a rapid manner is still a work in progress.
The web service creation model served as an initial model of creating services in Internet telephony and still
continues in the same role. As web mashups proliferated, voice mashups gained currency; as RSS feeds lead
to innovative web services, the voice market capitalized with voice-enabled RSS feeds. Added to this mix are
more recent technological advances such as virtualization, virtual worlds, IMS and mobile technologies, and
capable personal digital assistants -- all enabling a variety of new communication protocols, services and
architectures.
The Special Issue on IP Communication Services welcomes original submissions from both researchers and
practitioners that explore recent advances in architecture, system, protocol, modeling, and testbed design, as
well as emerging applications and standards related to IP Communication Services. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:
• Contribution of web service model to Internet telephony services
• Service modeling and model checking
• User expectations in web services versus Internet telephony services
• New communication services and service models
• Compositional services
• Cloud-based IP communications infrastructure
• Context-aware communication services
• Social networking and IP communications
• Converged communication services
• P2P overlay for IP communications services
• Service discovey
• Service management
• IP communication services for mobile users
• Mobile P2P communication services
• IP communications in the power grid
• Research issues in vertical IP communications markets
• Security
• Services and identity management
