The use of telecommunication services has experienced
tremendous growth over the past few years. Services have evolved
from basic telephony and data offerings to advanced integrated
services over high-speed networks, wireless networks and the
Internet. For example, the Internet traffic is doubling in size every
100 days; analysts are estimating more than 1 billion users
worldwide early in the 21st century. At the same time, demands
are picking up for new, elastic or real-time, services such as
supports for voice, video, e-commerce, computing applications,
and mission critical data. This evolution has raised the need for
new and more sophisticated solutions in the development of
networking technologies and the underlying infrastructure, and for
traffic management techniques to be able to meet diverse
performance requirements of various applications in a cost-
effective manner.

The aim of this conference is to promote discussions on present
developments and experiences, and explore future directions in
enhancing the networking technologies to address these
challenges. Technology experts and scientific researchers are
encouraged to submit papers discussing their research work and
experience in the field.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

 traffic characterization, traffic modeling, teletraffic theory,
   queueing models
 traffic management, routing protocols, congestion and admission
   control
 network dimensioning methods, traffic engineering rules
 modeling for QoS differentiation, multi-service and multi-
   protocol support
 traffic measurements, monitoring and tools
 management and operation support systems
 policy-based management for the Internet
 active networks
 middleware performance, performance in distributed computing
 xDSL, wireless, and cable-based access systems: performance
   modeling, analysis, experimental results
 Internet Protocol over optical networks
 Web caching, IP multicast, Web server performance
 performance requirements of emerging e-commerce applications
 pricing, tariffs, and billing
