Call for Papers 26th International Teletraffic Congress September 09-11, 2014, Karlskrona, Sweden "Teletraffic Contributions Towards a Sustainable World" http://www.itc26.org

After years of traffic growth, network over-provisioning policies have shown their limitations. Thus, traffic modeling and analysis have regained an important role to the provisioning of performance models, evaluation methods, monitoring and management approaches that allow for efficient dimensioning of network resources for various network technologies and communication requirements. In fact, such tools are of utmost importance for increased sustainability of communication solutions, which in turn improve the sustainability of environment, society and businesses. The motto of ITC 26 has been chosen with these challenges in mind. Since 1955, ITC has successfully been integrating researchers and practitioners in striving for understanding and mastering network performance issues in an ever-changing landscape of communication technology and services that trigger new demands to accommodate.

ITC 26 is bound to provide significant technological and methodological contributions to create a positive momentum in sustainable service delivery. Specific teletraffic-related topics in network technologies and applications of interest include, but are not limited to:

Network technologies and applications ===================================== Future networks design Green ICT Network virtualization Cloud networking Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Data center networks Carrier networks Optical networks Cellular networks Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) Wireless ad-hoc and mesh networks Delay-tolerant networks Sensor networks Internet of Things (IoT) Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Application layer networks and overlays P2P and distributed lookup Content Delivery Networks (CDN) Information-Centric Networking (ICN) IPTV, WebTV, HTTP-based streaming Distributed, grid, and cloud computing Web-services and SOA Social networks and crowd sourcing Tele-medicine, -education, -metry

Network planning, QoS, performance and sustainability ====================================================== Network design methods Energy efficiency Capacity planning methods and tools Planning for multi-carrier networks Cross-layer design and optimization Performance of wireless/wired networks QoE, QoS, SLA, and GoS Resource allocation and management Optimization techniques Game-theoretic models Random graph models Scheduling algorithms Queuing and traffic models Performance and reliability tradeoffs Robustness and reliability issues Simulation methods and tools Network coding Pricing and billing Business models for service deployment

Traffic measurement, management, and security-related issues ============================================================ Network tomography Big data traffic modeling and management Self-optimization Traffic engineering Dynamic bandwidth management Intelligent adaptive routing Location and mobility management Multi-domain issues Overload and congestion control Admission control Traffic and performance monitoring Protection, switching, and restoration Anomaly detection Detection of DoS attacks Attack mitigation methods Worm and virus propagation Epidemiological models Privacy and trust
