Call For Papers - CFP

21st International Teletraffic Congress (ITC 21)

"Traffic and Performance Issues in Networks of the Future"

15-17 September 2009 - Paris, France

http://www.i-teletraffic.org/itc21

TOPIC

ITC brings together researchers interested in understanding and

improving the way traffic is handled in communication networks.

Under the impulsion of proliferating broadband applications and the

continuous progress of technological advances, we currently witness a

rapid evolution of these networks and the emergence of new usage models.

They call for a continuous reappraisal of traffic management procedures

and mechanisms.

In parallel with the requirement to improve network efficiency and

performance by incremental steps, there is currently considerable

activity worldwide on the design of new architecture principles and

concepts for future networks. How will technological innovations and

content-centric networking impact our ability to control traffic flow?

What architectural elements and business models are needed to finally

meet user expectations for quality and security of their communications

in a cost-effective way? Such traffic and performance issues related to

the networks of the future are the focus of ITC 21, the next ITC plenary

congress that will take place in Paris in September 2009.

ITC 21 solicits submission of papers with original contributions

relating to traffic and performance issues in computer networks and

communication systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, architectural design

for traffic efficiency, impact of advances in wired, wireless, and

optical technology, network planning and operation, traffic measurement

and modelling, performance monitoring, new applications, test bed

experiments, and performance evaluation methodology.
