ITC 36: Call for Papers

The International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) 36, themed Towards Sustainable Digital Infrastructures, will take place from June 02 - 05, 2025, at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Campus Trondheim, Norway.

This event marks the 36th edition of the congress and celebrates the 70th anniversary of the conference series, which first took place in Copenhagen in 1955. The conference focuses on the evolving landscape of digital infrastructures and the critical need to embed sustainability into technological development.

ITC 36 solicits original contributions that address the latest changes and developments in the design, modelling, measurement, and performance evaluation of communication systems, networks, and services. Key objectives include energy-efficiency and sustainable IT, network security and privacy, QoS and QoE, and resilience.
