This evolution has raised the need for new and more sophisticated solutions in the development of networking technologies and infrastructure. The growing complexity of communication networks and the heterogeneity of the network services has made traffic engineering crucial to ensure that diverse quality of service requirements can be met both efficiently and cost-effectively. Traffic considerations are also extremely important in evaluating different architectural and technological alternatives and cost-performance tradeoffs. To support these network administration and planning activities, new networking principles and traffic theories are needed. The aim of this conference is to promote discussion on the development of performance evaluation techniques, traffic control principles, traffic engineering methods and practices.
Survey papers are particularly welcome.
Chairs of this conference request extended abstracts of approximately 2500 words.
