IEEE Communications society, Kerala chapter Cordially invites you to a talk on “Next Generation Networks” by Dr. Asatani Koichi, IEEE Fellow (Dean, Department of Computer Science and Communications Engineering, Kogakuin University, Japan) on Tuesday, 31 January 2012 at 5:30 PM at CDAC Amphitheatre Vellayambalam, Trivandrum.

Please register at Free registration – talk on Next Generation Networks

Topic

Next Generation Network (NGN) is designed to be capable of QoS management and controls like in legacy telecommunication networks and to support economical, versatile multi-media applications like those on the current Internet. NGN also provides fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) with generalized mobility, and horizontal and vertical roaming as well as improved security.

The concepts and architecture of the Next Generation Networks (NGN) are described. NGN voice and Internet services are attractive from the view points of service flexibility and cost effectiveness and the capability of integrating third-party applications with high dependability and high security. The current status of NGN implementation in a commercial offer by NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation) is touched upon.

Issues for the global evolution of NGN are also described, such as technical key issues, global standards and regulations.

Speaker

Dr Koichi Asatani is currently working as Dean, Department of Computer Science and Communications Engineering, Kogakuin University, and visiting professor, Graduate School of Global Information and Telecommunication, Waseda University, both in Tokyo, Japan. He is a Fellow of IEEE and a Fellow of IEICE.

He is Ex-Chair and Advisory Board Ex-Chair Emeritus of IEEE Technical Committee on Communication Quality and Reliability (CQR-TC), Feature Editor on Standards (1993-1999), Senior Technical Editor/Technical Editor (1999- 2010) of IEEE Communications Magazine, and Technical Editor on Broadband Technology of IEEE Communications Survey. From 1988 through 2000, he served as Vice-Chairman of ITU-T SG 13 (formerly CCITT SG XVIII), and Chairman of Working Party 3/SG13 responsible for digital networks including GII, IP networks and NGN. He is serving as Chair for National Committee on Next Generation Networks in Japan, and also as Chair, R&D and Standardizations Working Group, Next Generation IP Network Promotion Forum.

He has published more than fifty papers, and gave more than seventy talks including keynotes, invited talks and tutorials at major international conferences such as ICCs and Globecoms. He is author or co-author of nineteen books. Koichi Asatani received his B.E.E.E., M.E.E.E. and Ph. D degrees from Kyoto University in 1969, 1971 and 1974, respectively. From 1974 to 1997, Dr. Asatani was engaged in R&D on optical fiber communication systems, hi-definition video transmission systems, FTTH, ISDN, B-ISDN, ATM networks, IP networks and their strategic planning in NTT.
