ABOUT ITC
Teletraffic is the discipline dealing with all phenomena of control and
transport of information within telecommunications networks. The flow of
user/control information, as a result of a large number of users, typically
experiences a stochastic nature.
Teletraffic Science is a well-established field. It is based on the theory
and on methods of probability and stochastic processes on one hand, and on
methods for control such as scheduling, synchronization of concurrent
processes and queuing, on the other hand. Teletraffic Science is therefore
strongly related to subjects as performance modeling, queuing theory,
operations research, computer science and telecommunications.
Teletraffic Engineering is based on the knowledge of the organization and
technology of modern, computer controlled telecommunication systems such as
switching systems, computer networks, broadband and mobile communications
systems, for the integration of a broad spectrum of telecommunication
services such as voice, audio, graphics, video, individually or in
combination (multimedia), and all kinds of computer and data base
applications. Teletraffic Engineering comprises methods and tools for
modeling of telecommunication systems and services, performance evaluation,
resource dimensioning, cost optimization, forecasting, planning and network
management.
The International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) has a long tradition. It was
founded in 1955; since then, 18 ITC World Congresses, 16 ITC Specialist
Seminars and 18 Regional Seminars have been held. ITC covers topics from
networking technologies (telecommunication networks, mobile communication
networks, internet), architectures and protocols, teletraffic measurements
and traffic modeling, queuing theory and performance evaluation, traffic
engineering, network planning and network management. ITC has strong links
with ITU, both with the ITU-T (Telecommunication Standardization) and ITU-D
(Development Sector, BDT), and supports training in Telecommunication and
Teletraffic Engineering. ITC is guided by the International Advisory Council
(IAC), which is supported by associated members and experts from research,
development and network operations and standards organizations (ITU-TS,
ETSI, and IETF).
The IAC is proud that ITC19 will be hosted by China . On behalf of the IAC,
I would like to invite experts and research students from all mentioned
fields to contribute to ITC19 in order to make it a great event.

IAC of ITC University of Stuttgart, Germany

INVITATION FROM CHAIRMAN
The 19th International Teletraffic Congress (ITC19) will be held in Beijing
, P. R. China, from August 29 to September 2, 2005. On behalf of China
Institute of Communications (CIC) and Beijing University of Posts and
Telecommunications (BUPT), we would like to extend our warm welcome to
professionals, engineers, entrepreneurs and friends working in the fields of
teletraffic theory and its applications to come to Beijing and participate
in ITC19. Participants will be able to take this opportunity to exchange
ideas and experiences, and share with us new progress and achievements in IT
and telecommunications field.
Since the first International Seminar on Teletraffic and Network (ISTN),
which was the branch of ITC in China , initiated by us in 1988, we have
witnessed a steadily increasing activity in China in telecommunications
network and technologies. China has gained a leading status today in
information communication science and technology, with the developments of
IT and telecommunications around the world. Hundreds of experts, scholars,
entrepreneurs, as well as graduate and postgraduate students in the relevant
areas will be expected to attend this congress. As the host and sponsor of
the congress, we will do our utmost to put the ITC19 into a success.
Beijing is the capital of the P. R. China. It has been the capital of six
feudal dynasties in the Chinese history. The Great Wall, the Forbidden City,
the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace and Zhoukou Dian Site of Beijing
ape-man, are only a few of the famous spots of the long history of Beijing.
They are also the epitome of the splendid Chinese culture, with large amount
of cultural relics and historical wonders, which are listed by the UNESCO as
world natural and cultural heritages.
On behalf of the organizing committee of ITC19, we sincerely welcome you and
your family to Beijing. We believe you will have an enjoyable and fruitful
trip in both technical and leisure aspects.
