25th International Teletraffic Congress (ITC 25)
Shanghai, China
September 10-12, 2013
www.itc25.org
===============================================================
Theme: Teletraffic in the Cloud
===============================================================

Since 1955 the International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) has provided a forum
for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss innovations in
telecommunications network design, performance evaluation, reliability,
quality and traffic management measurements, and forecasting. ITC 25
continues this tradition, focusing on teletraffic contributions toward
understanding the benefits and costs of emerging architectural shifts in the
Internet. Specific traffic-related topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:

- Application layer networks and overlays
- P2P and distributed lookup
- Content delivery networks
- IPTV, WebTV, and HTTP-based streaming
- Distributed, grid, and cloud computing
- Web-services and SOA
- Social networks and crowd sourcing
- Tele-medicine, -education, -metry

B) Network planning, QoS, performance, and approaches
=====================================================
