The evolution of communications and networking is changing the world we are living in. The digital connected world is triggered by the influence of computer science on telecommunication, the advent of the Internet and the massive deployment of mobile communications and optics, the appearance of collaborative networking and social networks, the ever-increasing speed and flexibility of new communication technologies, networks, user devices, and applications, and the ever-changing operational challenges arising from this development.
ITC 28 solicits original contributions that address the latest changes and developments in design, modelling, measurement, and performance evaluation of communication systems, networks, and services. ITC 28 is structured into eight different areas. The objectives in these areas include, among others, energy-efficiency and green IT, network security and privacy, QoS and QoE, and resilience.

ITC 28 is technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc) and the Information Technology Society within VDE (ITG VDE). Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.

We are happy that Nikhil Jain (Qualcomm Technologies) will give a keynote talk on Internet of Everything: Engineering Challenges and Opportunities.

Area 1: Smart cities and IoT (Alberto Leon-Garcia, Yanmin Zhu)
Area 2: Cloud services and networking (Arup Acharya, Patrick Lee)
Area 3: Mobile, wireless and 5G (Kin Leung, Thomas Hou)
Area 4: Next generation and future Internet architectures (Michael Zink, Thomas Zinner)
Area 5: Network and traffic management (Florin Ciucu, Peter Reichl)
