Events launched and supported by ITC

The Internet Technical Committee (ITC) has successfully launched and established several workshops on topics relevant to the Internet community, including Global Internet, Internet Services and Enabling Technologies, and Network Services and Operation.

IEEE INFOCOM Global Internet (GI) Symposium

The Global Internet (GI) Symposium is the flagship event established and organized by ITC. It is sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society and ITC. Until 2002, the symposium was held in conjunction with IEEE Globecom and since then has moved to be held in conjunction with IEEE Infocom.

The symposium provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss advances in Internet-related technologies. The focus of the symposium is on experimental systems and on emerging Internet technologies.

Special Interest Groups

ITC gives importance to cutting-edge research areas opening Special Interest Groups and supporting related activities such as Special Issues, Conferences, Workshops, Standardization, etc. A SIG is generally opened on a very recent subject in Internet-working, if there is a clear activity related to the subject, in which ITC members are involved and about which the ITC members are willing to report during meetings. Here is the list of current SIGs.

SIG Related activities ITC Representatives

Internet of Things
Upcoming IEEE SENSORS SI on IoT
Neuman Souza

Cloud Networking

IEEE CLOUDNET
Upcoming IEEE TNSM SI on "Management of Cloud Services"
BonFire - MobiCloud

Dijiang Huang, José M. Alvarez Calero

Loc/ID Separation

IETF LISP WG

Luigi Iannone

Information-Centric Networking

IRTF ICNRG WG

Mayutan Arumaithurai

Suggestions on new Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are welcome to be discussed during ITC meetings.

Rewarding Deserving ITC Members

Beyond the scientific activities, ITC's scope includes nomination of deserving members for awards, promotions to IEEE Senior Member or IEEE Fellow, and for Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Communications Society. Individual ITC members can make suggestions for such nominations at any point in time by sending an email to any of the current ITC officers. The officers will review each suggestion and support a nomination as appropriate. The current ITC secretary will also solicit suggestions for such nominations at least once a year via the ITC mailing list.
