The 2005 International Conference on Telecommunication Systems - Modeling and Analysis http://atsma.org/ICTSM2005/ INFOMART center, Dallas, TX November 17-20, 2005

The 2005 International Conference on Telecommunication Systems - Modeling and Analysis will be held at the INFOMART center, Dallas, TX on November 17-20, 2005. The conference will build on the tradition of the earlier conferences. The general idea is to encourage informal interaction and exchanges of ideas by limiting the number of participants, concentrating on a few topics, and by presenting new problems and problem areas. 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. Papers will be screened by the Program Committee http://atsma.org/ICTSM2005/committee2005.html to ensure the quality of presentations. Abstracts and papers should be submitted directly to the Conference Chairman mailto:gavishb2000@yahoo.com who will handle its review. Social and cultural activities will be included in the 2005 agenda.

The Program Committee http://atsma.org/ICTSM2005/committee2005.html is open to any ideas you might have regarding additional topics or format of the conference. The intention is, to limit the number of parallel sessions to three. The conference is scheduled over a weekend to reduce teaching conflicts for academic participants and to enable participants to take advantage of weekend hotel and airfare rates.

Potential participants should send by July 1, 2005 an extended abstract or a full paper to the conference general chair. The technical program committee will evaluate the papers, and a decision will be sent to the authors by August 1, 2005 with instructions for the final version of the paper, which is due by October 1, 2005. Full paper contributions will be considered for publication in the Telecommunication Systems http://www.wkap.nl/journalhome.htm/1018-4864 Journal or the Electronic Commerce Research http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,4-0-70-35740341-0,00.html?referer=www.wkap.nl
