FINAL DEADLINE for Paper registration / Full paper submission: APRIL 5, 2017

The ITC conference 2017 will be held at the University of Genoa, Italy
from September 5 to September 7. The 29th event of the series features
the topic Ubiquitous, Software-Based, and Sustainable Networks
and Services.


The ongoing "softwarization" process in networks, along with hardware
capability and new services, is setting the pace for a tighter
integration between computing and telecommunications technologies.
At the same time, 5G and IoT are coming on the scene and will produce
an unprecedented growth in wireless access and data generation.
According to some estimates, there might be 25 billion connected
things by 2020. The exponential growth of IoT nodes, flexibility
in service provisioning, and programmability, are making networks
more complex to manage and operate. In addition, network design
presents new challenges, raised by ultra-low power consumption
requirements of IoT nodes and by the use of less energy-efficient
general-purpose hardware. The new paradigms will affect and shape
the statistical features of teletraffic, along with its performance
analysis and control.
