ITF 2005 focuses on the Internet Protocol as it is becoming the common networking protocol for converged and emerging applications (data, voice, video, messaging and additional applications) with its inherent ability to separate network and service layers. As these applications and services evolve, enhancements in the networking layer and in the service development tools are important to support these applications. Multi-Protocol Label Switching is an example of a protocol extension required to support multi-network options over an IP network. Session Initiation Protocol is a recent, ongoing example within the VoIP application.
As the applications proliferate, more protocols and extensions will be required. The goal of this conference is to discuss the topics that affect important XoIP areas and the resources and investments that are necessary to realize this potential.
In addition to our technology panels, ITF 2005 will feature special sessions with two outstanding academics from Thunderbird and Seattle University studying the effects of translating leadership across cultures. It is one of the most perplexing issues facing global business leadership as effective leadership in one culture can be disastrous to another.
