"The Open (Source) IMS Core - an initiative to adopt NGN and IMS 
concepts within the Industry and R&D"

Presenters: Dragos Vingarzan and Peter Weik of Fraunhofer FOKUS

Outline: 

- IMS Motivation & Basics
- The Open IMS Core project
- Applications of the Open IMS Core (industry projects, EU projects, 
component development)
- Q & A session

About the speakers: 

Dragos Vingarzan graduated from the Politehnica University of Bucharest, 
Romania in 2005 and joined the FOKUS team in 2004. Currently he is lead 
developer on the Open IMS Core project and completing his PhD at Fraunhofer 
FOKUS on performance considerations for Next Generation Networks.

Peter Weik graduated in "Industrial Engineering and Management Science" at 
Technical University of Karlsruhe, Germany in 2004 and joined the FOKUS team in 2003. 
Besides his work as a developer of the Open IMS Core, he is working on his PhD for user 
and identity management in NGNs.

Reference:

The Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS launched in November 2006 an Open Source 
project called the "Open IMS Core", an implementation of IMS Call 
Session Control Functions (CSCFs) and a lightweight Home Subscriber 
Server (HSS), which together form the core elements of all IMS/NGN 
architectures as specified today within 3GPP, 3GPP2, ETSI TISPAN and the 
PacketCable. The four components are all based upon Open Source 
software(e.g. the SIP Express Router (SER) or MySQL). For almost three 
years the Open IMS Core has formed the heart of the Open IMS Playground 
of the Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS (www.fokus.fraunhofer.de/ims), a 
unique combination of FOKUS-own IMS prototypes combined with 
state-of-the art solutions from commercial vendors (such as HP, Cisco, 
Cantata, Apertio and many more). More details on the GPL project that is 
also used in many R&D projects of universities can be found at 
www.openimscore.org or on
