• The Workshop on IP/Optical
• organized within the framework of ITU-Ts new
  initiatives, will profit from the participation
  of experts from the standardization sector and
  other SDOs, as well as eminent local experts.

• ? increase the awareness of ITU-T studies,
  projects, products and services,
• ? coordinate the activities of ITU-T study
  groups in a particular field,
• ? benefit from progress achieved in other SDOs,
  and considering the results of ITU-D and ITU-R
  study groups where appropriate, in order to
  coordinate studies and to avoid duplication of
  effort,

The Workshops/Seminars organized by ITU-T aim to

• ? identify new areas for standardization by
  relevant study groups in order to enhance
  existing and related projects, and in response
  to new market needs,
• ? stimulate opinions, priorities and
  contributions from different regions in order
  to focus corresponding ITU studies, to respond
  to concerns of the existing membership and
  attract new members to contribute to the work of
  ITU.

• ? IP (led by Study Group 13) - This project
  studies the interaction of IP-based networks and
  telecommunications networks for multimedia and
  other IP applications, and considers the
  interoperability of IP-based services and
  telecommunication services to ensure the
  continued speed, capacity, ease of use,
  reliability and integrity of the public telephone
  networks in use around the world.

This Workshop is aimed at enhancingthe
following special projects

• ? OTN (led by Study Group 15) - An Optical
  Transport Network is composed of a set of
  Optical Network Elements connected by optical
  fibre links, able to provide functionality of
  transport, multiplexing, routing, management,
  supervision and survivability of optical
  channels carrying client signals. A set of
  Recommendations (ITU-T G-series) has already
  paved the way for future all-optical networks.

• ? Access (led by Study Group 15) - New
  technologies, optimised for transport of packet
  data including packetised voice, will require
  the capability to support different QoS services
  from end to end through the network, including
  the access networks. Different scenarios are
  examined with the aim to give to the end user
  the seamless global multimedia services of
  their choice.

• ? NGN (led by Study Group 13) The term Next
  Generation Network represents key technologies,
  realizing the concepts of the global information
  infrastructure. The general principles for NGN
  can be found in various Y-series Recommendations.
  NGNs are considered to be part of the federation
  of networks of the global information
  infrastructure. This concept enables people to
  securely use a set of communication services
  supporting an open multitude of applications and
  embracing all modes of information, any time,
  anywhere and at an acceptable cost and quality.
