ITC provides a venue for researchers interested in understanding and improving the way traffic is handled in communication networks. The rapid evolution of these networks, driven by the proliferation of broadband applications, mobility, new usage models and advances in technology, raises a critical need for continuous reappraisal of traffic management procedures and mechanisms.
In parallel with the effort to improve network efficiency and performance, there is major activity worldwide on the design of new architectural principles and concepts for future networks. How will technological innovations and content-centric networking impact our ability to control traffic flows? What architectural elements and business models are needed to meet user expectations for service quality and reliability in a cost-effective way?
ITC-22 solicits submission of papers with original contributions relating to traffic and performance issues in computer networks and communication systems. While technical correctness is an obvious requirement, it is not sufficient, and ITC-22 in particular welcomes contributions that address novel issues, pioneer disruptive paradigms, or propose innovative models and techniques. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
| Network technologies and paradigms | Network planning, QoS and associated performance issues |
|
Cognitive radio networking Content delivery and storage networks Delay-tolerant and opportunistic networking Future Internet design IP/MPLS/Carrier Ethernet networks Multi-carrier networks Optical networks Sensor networks UMTS, WiFi, WiMax, and LTE networks Wireless adhoc and mesh networks
|
Capacity planning methods and tools Planning for multi-carrier networks Performance and reliability tradeoffs Robustness and reliability issues Web-based applications Network design methods Performance of wireless/wired networks Pricing and billing Business models for QoS SLA monitoring
|
| Traffic management and measurement | Applications |
|
Admission control Application traffic management Dynamic bandwidth management Intelligent adaptive routing Location and mobility management Multi-domain issues Network tomography, traffic matrices Overload and congestion control Protection, switching and restoration Traffic and performance monitoring
|
Application layer networks and overlays Virtualization Distributed, grid and cloud computing Efficient content delivery technologies Internet of Things IPTV, WebTV P2P and distributed lookup Social networks Tele-medicine, -education, -metry Web-services and SOA
|
| Models and techniques | Security-related issues |
|
Cross-layer design and optimization Game-theoretic models Self-optimization approaches Performance models for voice, video, data and P2P applications Random graph models Resource allocation and management Scheduling algorithms Simulation methods and tools
|
Anomaly detection Detection of DoS attacks Attack mitigation methods Epidemiological models Worm and virus propagation Privacy and trust

Publications and awards
All accepted contributions will appear as full papers in the conference proceedings with oral presentations. In order to guarantee the high visibility of the conference, the proceedings will be available through IEEE Xplore. ITC offers two prestigious awards: a General Best Paper Award and a Best Student Paper Award. For a paper to be eligible in the latter category, the student must be first author and presenter of the work. Please check the ITC-22 website for further details.
