ITC 21 2009 - 21st International Teletraffic Congress (ITC 21) "Traffic and Performance Issues in Networks of the Future"

CALL FOR PAPERS
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.
