SCOPE
------------------------------------------------------

Telecommunication infrastructures play a vital role in modern society.
Advances in the range of network service offerings, performance,
quality of service, security, and ubiquity continue to flourish,
despite global economy fluctuations. Access to experimental
infrastructures for real-life applications by specific user
communities benefits all of the stakeholders involved: the end users,
because of the first-hand evaluation of the provided services, the
researchers and infrastructure experimenters, because of the knowledge
gained from hands-on study and analysis, and the service providers,
because of the business exploitation of the network. The goal of
TridentCom is to create a forum where telecommunication networks
researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on
past experience, requirements, needs, and visions for future 
establishment of such infrastructures. 
It showcases experimental activities, such as testing, verification,
integration, measurement, and deployment, which are pivotal to
achieving next generation communications. 

PAPER SUBMISSION
