The 22nd International Teletraffic Congress will take place on September 7 - 9, 2010 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The International Teletraffic Congress is an annual event, which brings together researchers interested in understanding and improving the way traffic is handled in communication networks. ITC is a unique place to present up to date progress in traffic theory for telecommunication and computer networks, such as network planning, traffic monitoring, characterization and modelling, flow and congestion control, etc. as well as in related applied sciences (queuing theory, optimization, simulation, etc.).
In 2010 ITC will be held in Amsterdam. The lively city of Amsterdam attracts millions of tourists each year and offers a wealth of possibilities for "must-see" sightseeing, with its magnificent historical city center with its characteristic canal region, the Van Gogh museum, the Rijksmuseum, the Anne Frank House, the Amstel river, and its numerous markets, quirky boutiques, parks, cafés and restaurants. Just outside of Amsterdam, you will be able to visit picturesque villages such as Marken and Volendam, and to enjoy the characteristic Dutch farmer land with its countless windmills.

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:

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.
