>>09h45 | 10h15 Keynote Address:
New opportunities and the evolution of traditional services in IPT>>
  VoIP is a new technology that can potentially replace current voice services. The way we will develop VoIP services will be critical if we want that replacement to take place and not have VoIP services running along current voice services.

>>10h15 | 10h45 Building incremental value on IP: A roadmap to Managed Communications Services.>>
  IP has clearly become the foundation for the converged network environment.  The boundaries between the network and applications are breaking down. There are opportunities for both services providers and enterprises to generate value in this changing environment by working together in new ways and transforming the buyer/seller relationship into  partnership.

>>11h40 | 12h10 Improving Worker Productivity>>
  Nortel vision, quite simply, is not just to converge technologies, but to transform communications through innovation and to provide the reliable and secure path to productivity.

As customers begin to look beyond cost controls to grow their business, increasing worker productivity and innovation begin to take on more importance.  The globalization of companies and the growing dispersed workforce are changing the way business gets done.  Companies need better tools to allow these “virtual workplaces” to communicate effectively.

Nortel solutions provide the applications and infrastructure to allow customers to effectively implement these “virtual workplaces”.  Tools like presence, Instant Messaging, Video over LAN are just the beginning.  The real value comes when workers start to implement these tools in their everyday work life.

>>14h15 | 14h45 Yate - crossing the VoIP chasm>>
  Yate (http://yate.null.ro/) is a ground breaking Open Source telephony server that is efficient enough to deal with Gateway requirements and flexible enough for complex PBX and IVR solutions. Known for its flexibility and stability, Yate can be used as a telephony client or as a server- including PBX. The VoIP protocols Yate supports are H.323 and SIP. Sangoma and Digium are the hardware interface for PSTN in Yate.The future of VoIP depends on how well VoIP based solutions interoperate with one another.
In this conference, Diana Cionoiu- the architect of Yate- will outline strategies and tactics on crossing the  chasm between different protocols in VoIP and PSTN environments.

>>15h15 | 15h45 Evolution or Revolution: Using Services to Stimulate IMS Adoption in the NGN>>
  The IMS provides a common framework for service delivery in the emerging Next Generation Network architecture. It relies on several key elements, such as the Application Server, CSCF and Media Server. Building this architecture is a significant challenge, which can be greatly minimised with the selection of open, standards-based components. A great deal of hype has surrounded this technology and many have questioned the business case on which it depends.
A key question is: how do we get to this framework through evolution, not revolution?
Simple steps towards the IMS are vital, in order to improve the business case for this essential investment and reduce the risk of service rollout. Pre-IMS deployments that are compliant with, and leverage the modular, decomposed IMS framework can propel the migration towards the NGN. Operators need to launch differentiated services today; by insisting on leveraging IMS-compliant components, they can drive adoption of the overall IMS architecture
This presentation will explain how operators can minimise their risk as they migrate towards the IMS, with an emphasis on the specific elements demanded for immediate service delivery, as well as to combat the issues of network incompatibility and service reach.
Brooktrout Technology and Excel Switching are established leaders in the field of enhanced services, with a combined heritage that stretches back 20 years. They have long experience of helping operators deliver enhanced services around the globe and have adopted a leadership position in the evolution of technology and standards that drive network evolution.

>>16h10 | 16h40 VoIP Dangers, Bugs and Flaws>>
  Nuwere will discuss SecurityLab’s research and discovery of security flaws effecting the VoIP community and commons security lapses everyone should be aware of.
Ejovi Nuwere, SecurityLab Technologies

>>16h40 | 17h00 Threats, Vulnerabilities and Attacks in Voice over IP>>
  Nowadays the most important requirement for VoIP is security, and that can be build with reliable components and good planning during the deployment. Telecommunications have always had high requirements for reliability, but due to the telecommunications networks having always been closed, security has not been a requirement. Things are different with VoIP. Preventing fraud is one of the top topics when deploying VoIP. Also open connectivity is frequently required, and that will create a playground for hackers, exposing the telecommunication network to attacks such as worms and viruses. Intelligent deployment requires awareness of the threats, vulnerabilities and attacks.
The development of secure VoIP products and systems is possible with robustness testing, focusing on elimination of the vulnerabilities in the building blocks. Understanding the requirements, and minimizing risks enables you build a secure, reliable and robust VoIP system.

>>17h00 | 17h20 VoIP: SIP robustness and RTP security>>
  Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) commonly uses different protocols
 to establish connections and sending media streams. This talk
 concerns the robustness of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
 implementations and an information security walkthrough of Real Time
 Transport Protocol (RTP) implementations. Only one out of nine
 SIP implementations did not fail during testing and the information
 security criteria of all six RTP implementations were penetrated.
