First International Conference on Multimedia Services Access Networks

Technically co-sponsored by

C CA AL LL L F FO OR R P PA AR RT TI IC CI IP PA AT TI IO ON N

Access networks (the last- or first- mile according to providers or customers perspective) represent one
of the most important parts in telecommunication systems, being responsible for the high-quality, reliable and
secure delivery of services to end users. They also encompass some of the most demanding networking
problems, such as the coexistence of a large variety of technologies based on both wired and wireless
solutions, the need of optimal integration with the core network in terms of bandwidth and availability
mismatch, the provision of an acceptable quality of service in very different application scenarios and traffic
conditions.

MSAN05, the First International Conference on Multimedia Services Access Networks is intended to
provide a unique international forum to explore the new research frontiers in the field of current and next
generation multimedia services access networks. Original unpublished contributions will be presented that can
improve the knowledge and practice in the integrated design of efficient access technologies and the relevant
provision of advanced multimedia applications. Topics of interest address: access network technologies (with
particular emphasis on network design methodologies, protocols, analysis of performance and quality of
service); multimedia service delivery (mainly focusing on the integration/adaptation between multimedia data
processing and transmission techniques and access networks characteristics); implementation, operation and
performance (providing an opportunity to present innovative applications and testbeds for the above
technologies, as well as new approaches to testing and performance evaluation).
