CALL FOR PAPERS
Track on Traffic Engineering With Protocols and Devices
in
Applied Telecommunication Symposium (ATS)
Part of the 2003 Advanced Simulation Technologies Conference (ASTC 2003)
March 30 through April 3, 2003
Hyatt Orlando Hotel, Orlando, FL, 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:
