The primary purpose of this task force is to foster research in the areas of telecommunications wireless environments.

The next generation telecommunications is marked by the arrival of new platforms, new architectures, new services, and new applications. Next generation networks, IP multimedia systems, IPTV, and converging network and services are new telecommunications paradigms. Technology achievements in terms of co-existence of IPv4 and IPv6, multiple access technologies,  IP-MPLS network design driven methods, multicast and high speed require innovative approaches to design and develop large scale telecommunications networks. The task force will serve as a forum for researchers from the academia, the industry, professionals, and practitioners to present and discuss the current state-of-the art in research and best practices as well as future trends.
