From Social Networks to Machine Networks

More than 140 participants from telecommunications, IT, energy and industry discussed these and other topics with invited experts from Vodafone Global, DB Kommunikationstechnik, Bundesverband Smart City e.V. and FutureManagementGroup. The new conference concept "More Talking - Less Listening" promoted exchange and conversations, so that the Xyna Conference could once again present itself as an important and established conference series for the Smart Networks market.

After the official conference part, GIP AG invited to the evening event in the festively decorated winter garden for a speciality buffet and a cosy finale.

Many thanks to all participants and speakers for this exciting, interesting and successful conference day!

Dr. Bernd Reifenhäuser on the topics for 2010:

• Where do we stand in the unification of radio and fixed network on the basis of an all-IP network?
• What tasks have to be mastered?
• Which innovative services can be realized on an all-IP network?
• What are the challenges of the future?

In accordance with these questions, the speakers were selected by Dr. Bernd Reifenhäuser and asked to speak on these topics. At the same time, the "small anniversary" provides an opportunity to look back on the last few years and reflect on how certain topics have developed and been classified.

The 5th Xyna Conference of the GIP Research Institute on November 10, 2010 was a great success. The participants from telecommunications and IT experienced exciting and interesting contributions as well as extensive discussions during breaks and the evening event.

Intelligent solutions for a connected world

The spectrum under consideration ranges from convergent telecommunications networks in fixed networks / cable / mobile communications (next generation networks) to new areas of telematics, such as electromobility networks and intelligent power supply networks (smart grids).

The speakers at the conference reported on the diverse challenges and requirements of smart communications as well as on current innovation and development approaches and projects. The discussion rounds that followed the presentations and the evening event provided valuable ideas and starting points for the development and operation of smart communication solutions of the future.

Managing Service Complexity

Around this complex of topics the 3rd Xyna Conference of the GIP Research Institute took place on November 25, 2008.

The architecture and technical foundations of the Internet are over 30 years old. Research initiatives in the USA and in Europe are already dealing with the questions and the conception of a Future Internet. This is because not only the current sharp increase in traffic, but also the medium-term energy problem and the efficient use of resources are placing new demands on the network of the future. The Internet must and will change.

This will entail a far-reaching restructuring and reorganization of the OSS landscapes of network operators and providers, which is why Dr. Reifenhäuser chose this topic for the 3rd Xyna Conference.

The main sponsor of the conference this year was again Oracle, on whose infrastructure the "red edition" of Xyna Service Factory is based. The support of the conference reflects the successful and close partnership between Oracle and GIP.

The Fractal Telco-Factory

Under the theme "The Fractal Factory - Telecommunications 3.0", keynotes by renowned speakers from science and practice were presented and exciting discussions on the future of communication were held.

The main sponsor of the conference this year was once again ORACLE, on whose infrastructure the "red edition" of the Xyna Service Factory is based. The support of the conference reflects the successful and close partnership between ORACLE and GIP. Sun Microsystems could again be won as another sponsor of the conference.

In the unique ambience of the Hyatt Regency, the Xyna Conference provided an ideal forum for our customers, partners and interested parties from IT and telecommunications to exchange ideas and discuss the future of telecommunications.

Under the theme "Industrialization of Telecommunications", a number of interesting lectures and presentations were held by renowned speakers from science and practice.
