Deadline: 12 October 2010
On behalf of the programme-committee the FTTH Council Middle East Group invites you to submit a paper for the 2nd annual FTTH Middle East Conference, 30 November – 1 December at the Mövenpick Hotel, Beirut, Lebanon.
This two-day event was successfully launched last year in Amman, Jordan, under the patronage of His Excellency Eng. Basem Al Rousan, Jordanian Minister of ICT, who gave the opening speech. The event attracted more than 260 delegates from 30 countries, and created unprecedented media attention.
For 2010 the FTTH Council Europe Middle East Group will with your help increase this success with a high-quality conference programme.
The period for submitting an abstract has been extended until 12 October 2010.
The conference theme this year will be “FTTH – Taking Your Life to New Horizons"
The conference will focus on the following topics:
• Technology, Innovation & Sustainability: The technical sessions of the conference will focus on new developments and innovations in FTTH technology including: new deployment methods, innovative FTTH solutions, new ways of in-house-cabling, state-of-the-art FTTH. Papers which focus on the sustainability aspect of FTTH technology are appreciated.
• Regulation & Policy: Regulation is still an important factor regarding FTTH deployment. The new regulatory framework is a key topic of interest at our conference and actual regulatory and policy issues will be discussed in Lisbon.
• Content, Services and Applications: FTTH enables new and fascinating services. We are looking for case studies, success stories and new ideas for content, services and applications that need FTTH. All kind of topics are welcome, including multimedia, gaming, cloud/grid computing, community services and Web 2.0, Web 3.0, eWorking, eLearning, eMedicine, social services, care for elderly people etc. Many of those new solutions will also have a positive impact on environment and will support the message of the sustainability of FTTH networks.
• The Business Case for FTTH: FTTH networks are a good business opportunity. At the FTTH Conference 2010 we want to present success stories, business cases for FTTH networks as well as new technologies and solutions to deploy and operate FTTH networks in an efficient way.
• FTTH and the Investor Community: These sessions will focus on the financial community. What are the facts that investors are interested in? How can FTTH be attractive for investors? What are the expectations and interests of investment-banks? How does the typical FTTH-investor look like?
In addition to these topics you are invited to suggest any other interesting session or paper to be included in the conference programme.
This call for papers is open for all kind of submissions. Papers can be submitted by single persons, operators, engineering consultants, authorities, content developers, manufacturers, equipment vendors and all stakeholders of the FTTH world. The review will be done by a neutral committee of analysts. It will be a blind review, meaning that the reviewer only sees the title and the abstract but not the author(s). Any statements in the abstract which could indicate the author who/company which submitted the abstract will be removed for the review.
The FTTH Council Middle East Group prefers neutral presentations and case study/real life experience presentations. Manufacturers and vendors can therefore increase the value of their abstract if the presentation is done through a customer.
The FTTH Council Europe will do the final selection of the papers. There is no obligation from FTTH Council Europe to inform submitters about the reasons of accepting or rejecting a paper.
We are looking forward to receive your abstract!
