Call for Workshop Proposals

Introduction

The International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) is the most premier event to present the latest developments and technical solutions in the areas of performance evaluations of computer and communication networks and services. The ITC was created in 1955 to initially cater to the emerging needs to understand and model traffic in telephone networks using stochastic methodologies, and to bring together researchers with these considerations as a common theme. Today, with its conferences, specialist seminars, regional seminars, training courses and publications, the ITC aims at a worldwide forum for all questions related to network and service performance, management, and assessment, both present and futuristic.

The ITC 2011 Chairs and the organizing committee of the ITC 2011 invite proposals for the workshops to be held on September 9, 2011 in San Francisco, USA, in conjunction with the main technical program of the ITC 2011 conference (http://www.itc-conference.org/2011/).

The researchers and practitioners interested in organizing the workshops are invited to submit workshop proposals. The purpose of the ITC 2011 workshops is to provide participants with an international forum and opportunity to discuss novel research ideas and challenges in a wide range of networked systems.
