CALL FOR PAPERS Applied Telecommunication Symposium (ATS) "Modeling and Simulation Challenges in Telecommunication Systems"

Part of the 2004 Advanced Simulation Technologies Conference (ASTC 2004)

April 18 through April 22, 2004 Hyatt Regency Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia, USA

The Applied Telecommunication Symposium (ATS) is an international forum for exchange of technical knowledge and presentation of original papers on the analysis of telecommunication systems and technologies. It is intended for professionals, engineers, software developers, managers, and others interested in cellular and packet traffic characteristics, analysis of telecommunication networks, and practitioners operating telecommunication networks. We are looking for innovative technical papers describing projects, applications, and research and development work pertinent to telecommunication. The following tracks (with track chairs listed) will be held; the topics are representative of the track, but are not necessarily exclusive to that track:

Wireless Chair: Dr. Hassan Rajaei, Bowling Green State University Co-chair: Dr. Mohsen Guizani, University of Michigan -CDMA -UMTS -GSM -2.5G/3G Wireless -Wireless Data -Cell Traffic -Network Performance and Engineering - Measurements - SPECIAL SESSION ON WLAN RESEARCH with particular emphasis on QoS, routing, reliability, overload/congestion control, network security, and interworking with 2.5/3G systems.

Telecommunications Business and Regulation Chair - Dr. George Kraft, Stuart School of Business, Illinois Institute of Technology -Cost modeling -Call center operations -Billing models -E-commerce

Network Management and Security Chair: Dr. Axel Lehmann, Universitaet der Bundeswehr Muenchen Co-chair: Dr. Wolfang Haidegger, Siemens/FTW -Operations, Administration, Maintenance -Overload/congestion control -Load balancing -Influence of security measures on network performance

Networks and Multimedia Chair - Dr. Aftab Ahmad, Norfolk State University -Internet QoS Architectures -Network performance - analysis and simulation -Traffic characterization -Packet switch architecture evaluation

Modeling Techniques Chair: Dr. Shakil Akhtar, UAE University, Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates Co-chair: Dr. Lev Sofman, Alcatel -Simulation techniques -Acceleration methods -Traffic synthesis -Combined simulation/analytic procedures -Metro area design and modeling

Traffic Engineering with Protocols and Devices Chair: Dr. Junaid Zubairi, SUNY at Fredonia Co-chair: Dr. Chia J. Liu, AT&T Labs -Traffic Management and control -Traffic engineering architectures -Bandwidth management -GMPLS
