7th International Conference on Telecommunication Systems - CFP
C A L L for P A P E R S
7th International Conference on Telecommunication Systems Modeling
and Analysis
March 18-21, 1999
Nashville, Tennessee, USA
Sponsored by: American Telecommunications Systems Management Association

evaluation"

The 7th International Conference on Telecommunication Systems -
Modeling and Analysis will be held in Nashville on March 18-21,
1999. The conference will build on the tradition of the earlier
conferences. The general idea is to limit the number of partici-
pants, concentrate on a few topics, and to present new problems
and problem areas, to encourage informal interaction and
exchanges of ideas. The objective is to advance the state of
the modeling and analysis in telecommunications by stimulating
research activity on new and important problems.
The conference will be divided into segments with each segment
devoted to a specific topic. This will allow for little conflict
between segments. All papers will be screened by the Program
Committee to ensure the quality of presentations. A decentralized
paper handling process will be used. Abstracts and papers should be
submitted directly to a Program Committee member who will handle
its review. It is expected that this will expedite the paper
review process. Social and cultural activities will be included
in the 1999 agenda. The conference will be held at two sites,
Thursday and Friday meetings will take place at the Tennessee
Economic Development Center at the BellSouth Tower in downtown
Nashville. The Saturday and Sunday meeting will be held at the
Club House Inn hotel (see description at the end of the message).
Listed below are some of the potential segments:
-- Configuration of ATM networks
-- DSL based systems
-- Internet and its Impact on Commerce
-- Internet and Intranet
-- Mobility and Nomadicity
-- Pricing and economic analysis of Internet and E-commerce
-- Topological Design and Network Configuration Problems
-- Design and Analysis of Local Access Networks and Outside
Plant Problems
-- Low Earth Orbit Satellite Communication Systems
-- Cellular Systems and PCS Modeling and Configuration
-- Time Dependent Expansion of Telecommunication Systems
-- Network Reliability, Availability and Survivability
-- Network Design Problems in Gigabit and Terabit Networks
-- LAN, WAN Global Network Interconnection
-- Artificial Intelligence/Heuristics in Telecommunication Systems
-- Quantitative Methods in Network Management
-- Pricing and Economic Analysis of Telecommunications
-- Impact of Telecommunications on Industrial Organization
-- Performance Evaluation of Telecommunication Systems
-- Distributed Computing and Distributed Data Bases
-- Security and Privacy Issues in Telecommunications
-- Virtual Reality, Multimedia and their Impact
-- Standards
The Program Committee is open to any ideas you might have
regarding additional topics or format of the conference. The
intention is, whenever possible, to limit the number of parallel
sessions to three. The conference is scheduled over a weekend so
as to reduce teaching conflicts for academic participants,
and to enable participants to take advantage of weekend hotel
and airfare rates and of the many events that take place in the
downtown area.

Due to the limit on the number of participants, early conference
and hotel registration is recommended. The ClubHouse Inn &
Conference Center is the official hotel of the conference. To
ensure your participation, please use the following steps:
1. Send to a Program Committee member by October 1,
1998, a paper (preferable), or titles and extended abstracts for
potential presentations to be considered for the conference.
Sending more than one extended abstract is encouraged, enabling
the Program Committee to have a wider choice in terms of
assigning talks to segments. Use E-mail to expedite the
submission of titles and abstracts and papers.
2. Use the forms at the end of this message to preregister for
the conference and the hotel. Let us also know if you would
like to have a formal duty during the conference such as:
Session Chair, or Discussant.
3. You will be notified by December 15, 1998, which abstract(s)/
paper(s) have been selected for the conference. Detailed
instructions on how to prepare camera ready copies will be sent to
authors of accepted presentations. February 10, 1999, is the
deadline for sending a final version of the paper. Participants
will receive copies of the collection of papers to be presented.
4. All papers submitted to the conference will be considered for
publication in the "Telecommunication Systems" Journal. If you do
not wish for your paper to be submitted for publication
consideration in the "Telecommunication Systems" Journal, please
specify it in the cover letter of your submission.
The Program Committee looks forward to receiving your feedback/ideas.
Feel free to volunteer any help you can offer. If you have
suggestions for Segment Leaders (i.e., individuals who will have a
longer time to give an overview/state of the art talk on their
segment subject) please E-mail them to Prof Gavish. Also, if there
are individuals whose participation you view as important, please
send their names and E-mail addresses to the Program Committee
Chairman, or forward to them a copy of this message.
I look forward to a very successful conference.
Sincerely yours,
Bezalel Gavish
