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.
