Abstract
The IMS technology is a framework architecture for delivering IP multimedia services, which allows voice and multimedia applications to communicate from multi-access scenarios (Wireless, PacketCable, DSL, etc.), thus allowing the convergence of fixed and mobile networks. The authors carry out an investigation into the current state of the art of this technology, focusing on its architecture, operating principles, and especially on the current state of development in Argentina. They make a forecast of what will happen in the next three years and their vision of what today are the best practices for its implementation.

E-Learning Industry
IMS is originally an abbreviation for Instructional Management Specification, and is now also commonly used as the short form for the IMS Global Learning Consortium (www.imsproject.org/), a group of interested parties (companies, academics, standards bodies, etc.) IMS is systematically trying to create workable specifications for all aspects of the learning process – aiming from enterprise issues through content creation and management to modeling learning styles. IMS has established working groups in every conceivable activity in the e-learning domain. The IMS Global Learning Consortium is specifically involved in development of specifications – leaving standards creation, accreditation paths, and so forth – to other bodies.
