4. 4 Motivation Thanks to ICT services, different application sectors can be highly modernized. ICT services represent a vast greenfield for research as application enablers

5. 5 Services of the future New services over new network infrastructures: All-IP underlying infrastructures with IMS platforms represent the new paradigms on which all future telecom digital applications will be based and therefore are the basis for value added services research. A set of service enablers like mobility, location, context awareness are as well the foundations for these new applications. All-IP from an underlying telco network infrastructure perspective will materialize through a common core that would serve different access networks: FTTH (after VDSL2) is the present/future for unlimited bandwidth in the fixed domain/(Advanced) LTE will also provide high bandwidth and capacity radio (mobile) access; but beyond this, non-telco ad-hoc infrastructures are also hot topics of research, namely MANETs (or also WSN-Wireless Sensor Networks) with interesting implications for services. Finally from a management perspective, NGOSS is the trend for service (&network) management)

6. 6 Description Brief Description 1. Services that support location and other context-aware applications 2. Support to mobility: main services offered and its relationship with underlying networks (MANET-Mobile Adhoc NETworks) 3. Frameworks and core services for the management of Next Generation Networks (NGN), as well as the service offer from telcos and third companies Specific competences&learning results 7. Capacity to design context-aware applications, thanks to the support of location (based) services [CE-IST 8] 8. Capacity to create new services that support mobility, specially in emerging fields like MANET or WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) [CE-IST 9] 9. Capacity to design and use services for the management of NGN and the composition of new services within a service-oriented framework [CE-IST 10]

7. 7 Objectives Acquisition of solid knowledge about IP services and its underlying infrastructure Research skills around the topic: Search and analysis from quality sources Identification of useful information and conclusions gathering Writing of documents for scientific results dissemination Public presentation of the results

11. 11 Methodology (II) Professor(+external speakers): provide the basics of the subject (including research ideas) at the beginning of the module Student: chooses research topic and makes assignment Acquisition of the scientific method, through: Analysis of the state of the art: top-indexed magazines and international patents Identification of novel research topic Write an article(magazine)+patent request Improves it after peer review Presents it (slides) Each part corresponding to each professor have separate assignments and evaluation

12. 12 Assignment (part I) Review the state of the art of the covered topics: Choose one of them, from a service perspective (e.g. part I: IMS, VoIP, SIP, QoS, codecs, LBS, context awareness, one of the application sectors) Review prestigious indexed (JCR) magazine articles ISI (Institute for Scientific Information) and international patents: Read thoroughly 4-6 articles (JCR-preferably Telecommunications area top 10 magazines) Access: 1) to the ranking: www.uva.es Library (//almena.uva.es) Databases UVA ISI web of knowledge 2) articles: http://0- ieeexplore.ieee.org.almena.uva.es/Xplore/dynhome.jsp Write a summary of the state of the art of the chosen topic, including bibliographic references intratext maximum 2 pages Identify a research line about the topic (among those shortlisted) Validate it with the professor Write an article (IEEE format) and a patent file (only part I) about the selected line English Part II (work in progress): more emphais in class discussion of material read and collaborative identification (materialized in written artifacts) of research problems derived from theses discussions (the same applies for evaluation, also motivated by less time available for longer cycles/iterations)
