Our apologies for receiving multiple copies of this email..

DEADLINE EXTENSION: Because of multiple requests and difficulties to use
infrastructures in the christmas holiday period we have extended the deadline

Due to this now very tight schedule we have to close the web server for
submissions on 24:00 h that Sunday, sharply.

ORGANIZATIONS AND HISTORY
International Advisory Committee
http://www.i-teletraffic.org/
ITG - Information Technology Society in the VDE
http://www.vde.com/vde/html/e/fach/itg/itg.htm

The ITC, founded in 1955, provides, through regular, now bi-annual
congresses, 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, forecasts, 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. The
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 community 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 KKllnischen
Park"is located just a few minutes walking distance from famous places
such as Alexanderplatz, Humboldt University, Gendarmenmarkt, Reichstag or
Brandenburger Tor.

"PROVIDING QOS IN HETEROGENEOUS EINVIRONMENTS"
The ITC 18 will be held in a transient phase where IP packet-switched
architectures migrate from being data networks only to also substituting
traditional circuit-switched networks.
Papers are welcome tackling the following topics:

NETWORK ARCHITECTURES AND TECHNOLOGIES
- Next generation networks
- Broadband transport networks
- Access networks
- Wireless networks and wireless LANs
- Heterogeneous networks and ubiquitous communication
- Web technologies
- Voice over IP
- Ad hoc and peer to peer networking
- Communication protocols

TRAFFIC CONTROL AND ENGINEERING
- Traffic engineering
- Quality of service provisioning
- Service pricing
- Overload control
- Traffic management
- QoS in multi-provider networks
- Service-aware admission control
- Traffic conditioning
- Routing
- Mobility management and signalling
- Network planning and optimization
- Network management
- Reliability and Survivability

METHODS AND TOOLS
- Traffic characterization and modelling
- Performance evaluation
- Queueing theory
- Scheduling
- Simulation methodology
- Traffic and performance measurements

IMPORTANT DATES
Full paper due : extended to 19 January 2003
Notification of acceptance mailed: 16 April 2003
Camera ready paper due : 1 June 2003

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Papers should not exceed 15 double-spaced pages (about 5000 words, font
 12pt), have an abstract of 100-200 words, and be original material not
