18th International TELETRAFFIC CONGRESS Providing QoS in Heterogeneous Environments Haus am Köllnischen Park, Berlin, Germany 31 August - 5 September 2003 Call for Papers The ITC, founded in 1955, provides, through regular bi-annual congresses and seminars, the main international forum for teletraffic research and engineering. The purpose of the ITC is to stimulate the development and application of teletraffic theory for planning, engineering, managing and administrating telecommunication networks. The analysis and control of traffic phenomena in such networks require measurements, forcecasts, as well as network management algorithms. The ITC gathers teletraffic experts from research organizations, universities, manufacturers, network operators and international technical organizations yielding a well-balanced contribution from theory and application. ITCs are organized so that researchers, engineers, and administrators from telcos and data network operators can interact and benefit from discussions and exchange of ideas. ITC also benefits from the social environment which allows for the creation of new personal contacts between delegates. Conference City After 33 years, the ITC meets again in Germany - in Berlin, the old and new capital, a four million people meeting place of the East and the West in the center of Europe. Berlin is a city in transition, one that is not always easy to understand, and which is often quite difficult to describe. However, no other city of Germany reflects the historical events of the last few years to the extent Berlin does. More information: www.berlin.de Conference Venue Close to the river Spree in the center of Berlin, the "Haus am Köllnischen" Park is located just a few minutes walking distance from famous places such as Alexanderplatz, Humboldt University, Gendarmenmarkt, Reichstag or Brandenburg Tor. Providing QoS in Heterogeneous Environments ITC 18 will be held in the transient phase where IP architectures migrate from being networks only to also substituting traditional circuit-switched networks.

                  18th International TELETRAFFIC CONGRESS


                Providing QoS in Heterogeneous Environments

                 Haus am Köllnischen Park, Berlin, Germany
                        31 August - 5 September 2003

Call for Papers

   The ITC, founded in 1955, provides, through regular bi-annual
   congresses and seminars, the main international forum for teletraffic
   research and engineering. The purpose of the ITC is to stimulate the
   development and application of teletraffic theory for planning,
   engineering, managing and administrating telecommunication networks.
   The analysis and control of traffic phenomena in such networks require
   measurements, forcecasts, as well as network management algorithms.
   The ITC gathers teletraffic experts from research organizations,
   universities, manufacturers, network operators and international
   technical organizations yielding a well-balanced contribution from
   theory and application. ITCs are organized so that researchers,
   engineers, and administrators from telcos and data network operators
   can interact and benefit from discussions and exchange of ideas. ITC
   also benefits from the social environment which allows for the
   creation of new personal contacts between delegates.

Conference City

   After 33 years, the ITC meets again in Germany - in Berlin, the old
   and new capital, a four million people meeting place of the East and
   the West in the center of Europe. Berlin is a city in transition, one
   that is not always easy to understand, and which is often quite
   difficult to describe. However, no other city of Germany reflects the
   historical events of the last few years to the extent Berlin does.

Conference Venue

   Close to the river Spree in the center of Berlin, the "Haus am
   Köllnischen" Park is located just a few minutes walking distance from
   famous places such as Alexanderplatz, Humboldt University,
   Gendarmenmarkt, Reichstag or Brandenburg Tor.
