Call for Papers 27th International Teletraffic Congress September 8-10, 2015, Ghent, Belgium “Traffic, Performance and Big Data” http://www.itc27.org

With the emergence of the Internet of Things, the number of devices being connected to the Internet is steadily growing and huge amounts of data are being generated worldwide. Big data brings new traffic and performance related challenges. These include how to model big data characteristics such as volume, velocity and variability, how to efficiently and securely manage and share big data, how to provide wireless connectivity for big data, how to optimally deploy cloud networking for big data applications, and how to exploit big data to improve network performance. The theme of ITC 27 “Traffic, Performance and Big Data” reflects these challenges.

Over the past 60 years, ITC has provided a forum for leading researchers from academia and industry to present and discuss key technological and methodological advances in the design, performance evaluation and control of communication networks, protocols and applications and in traffic measurement and management. ITC 27 continues this tradition and solicits original contributions that address novel technologies or propose innovative models and techniques. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Network technologies and applications ===================================== Future networks design Internet of Things Network virtualization Cloud networking Software-defined networking Data center networks Carrier networks Optical networks Cellular networks Fixed mobile convergence Green ICT Wireless ad-hoc and mesh networks Delay-tolerant networks Sensor networks Cognitive radio networks Application layer networks and overlays P2P and distributed lookup Content delivery networks Information-centric networking IPTV, WebTV, and 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 associated approaches ============================================================= Network design methods Capacity planning methods and tools Planning for multi-carrier networks Cross-layer design and optimization Performance of wireless/wired networks Resource allocation and management QoE, QoS, SLA, and GoS Energy efficiency Optimization techniques Scheduling algorithms Caching algorithms Queueing and traffic models Game-theoretic models Random graph models Simulation methods and tools Performance and reliability tradeoffs Robustness and reliability issues 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 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 Epidemiological models Worm and virus propagation Privacy and trust
