Introduction
The International Teletraffic Congress ITC 30, to be held September 3-7, 2018, at the University of Vienna, Austria, is the 30th edition of this international flagship congress in the field of networking science and practice. ITC was founded back in 1955 by enthusiastic scientists and engineers who were willing to deploy networks in a holistic way. Since then, it has established a multi-decade tradition as the primary forum for presenting and discussing the latest technical advances in the broad areas of teletraffic models, network systems, and measurements.
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.
ITC 30 is specifically organized into four (partially overlapping) areas.
Area 1: Performance Evaluation, Control and Optimization
Chairs: Sem Borst (TU Eindhoven, The Netherlands), Markus Fiedler (BTH Karlskrona, Sweden), Bruno Tuffin (INRIA Rennes, France)
Area 2: Network Measurements and Big Data
Chairs: Oliver Hohlfeld (RWTH Aachen, Germany), Fabián Bustamante (Northwestern Univ., USA), David Malone (Hamilton Institute, Ireland)
Area 3: Networking Architectures and Paradigms
Chairs: Andreas Kassler (University of Karlstad, Sweden), Stefano Secci (Sorbonne UPMC, France), Roberto Bifulco (NEC, Germany)
Area 4: Wireless and Cellular Networks
Chairs: Steven Latre (University of Antwerp, Belgium), Albert Banchs (UC3 Madrid, Spain), Shiwen Mao (Auburn University, USA)

Guidlines
Full papers must contain original work currently not under review for other journals or conferences pages in A4 2-column IEEE conference style, and should be submitted electronically using the EDAS online submission system. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference by one of the authors. Selected papers may be subject to publication in extended form in a special journal issue.
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
