“Cloud Computing in Telecom” Workshop

SCOPE Seeks Presenters for “Cloud Computing in Telecom” Workshop

Submit Your Presentation Idea by Friday, March 5

How will traditional carrier-grade platforms that are used in telecom networks be affected by cloud computing?  

Can you answer this question? If so, SCOPE wants to hear from you!

We are looking for presenters for our next workshop who can address this question as well as other related topics such as what types of cloud computing (SaaS, PaaS, MSP, etc.) are appropriate for telecom applications, how virtualization is useful in cloud computing and whether carrier-grade telecom applications impose new resource management requirements on computing (click here for a full list of presentation topics of interest). The workshop, titled “Cloud Computing in Telecom,” will be hosted by Alcatel-Lucent, May 5-7 in Piscataway, New Jersey.  

Showcase your expertise while engaging in lively discussion with industry thought leaders at “Cloud Computing in Telecom.” Submit your presentation topic and outline by March 5 to techchair@scope-alliance.org.

Presentation Topics of Interest:

  • How will service providers or network equipment providers implement telecom services in cloud computing?
  • What types of cloud computing (SaaS, PaaS, MSP, etc.) are appropriate for telecom applications?  Does the business model require the telecom networks to be accessed or managed in a different way?
  • How is the telco carrier-grade platform functionality achieved in cloud computing? Will the carrier-grade platforms used in telecom networks require additional adaptation to integrate with cloud computing? Or is cloud computing replacing the carrier-grade platform?
  • What unique requirements do carrier-grade telecom applications bring into cloud computing? What are the gaps in cloud computing (resource allocation, fault isolations, system upgrade, etc.) to support telecom carrier-grade applications?
  • What additional tools are necessary to manage telecom carrier-grade applications that are implemented in cloud computing?
  • How is virtualization useful in cloud computing, and are there any gaps to the virtualization solutions?
  • Do carrier-grade telecom applications impose new resource management requirements on cloud computing?
  • How is security impacted by cloud computing?
