ITC 30 focuses on the future smart world and how to build it using recent advances in networking science & practice, including key challenges arising from the upcoming interconnection of massive numbers of devices, sensors and humans. For ITC 30, cutting-edge papers spanning both theory and experimentation are solicited in all areas of networking, ranging from traffic engineering and control with application also to emerging softwarized/virtualized network paradigms, up to innovative wireless scenarios brought about by the emergence of 5G and IoT systems.

We especially encourage original contributions which bridge the gap between performance modeling and real-life operational aspects, including works which leverage measurement data to provide a better understanding of the wired and wireless networks’ operation under realistic conditions. Contributions can either be full papers, demos or posters. Selected papers may be subject to publication in extended form in a special journal issue.

ITC 30 is organized into four (partially overlapping) areas.

+ Area 1: Per­formance Evaluation, Control and Optimization
Co-chairs: Sem Borst, Markus Fiedler, Bruno Tuffin

+ Area 2: Net­work Measurements and Big Data
Co-chairs: Fabián Bustamante, David Malone, Oliver Hohlfeld

+ Area 3: Networking Architec­tures and Paradigms
Co-chairs: Andreas Kassler, Stefano Secci, Roberto Bifulco

+ Area 4: Wireless and Cellular Networks
Co-chairs: Steven Latre, Albert Banchs, Shiwen Mao

***ITC Awards and Events***

ITC 30 has set up several prestigious awards, including a Best Paper Award and a Best Student Paper Award. These awards are based both on the scientific quality of the paper and the quality of the oral presentation.
Moreover, several Student Travel Grants will be available.

In addition, the congress will also host associated workshops as well as exciting social events, including
+ City Tour, Reception and Opera Recital on Sept 4, Palais Eschenbach
+ Mayor’s Reception and Gala Dinner on Sept 5, Vienna City Hall
