Scope of the Conference

With the advancement of key technologies in communication such as optical
and radio transmission, coding schemes, switching mechanisms and so on,
communication networks are quickly becoming of larger-scale in higher speed
than expected. As for usage, Internet and real time applications are
prospected to share a significant portion of the bandwidth in next
generation communication networks. Therefore extensive research on
networking technologies to achieve seamless and QoS guaranteed transmission
depending on source characteristics is indispensable. For the proper design,
development and operation of emerging ideas on networking, further studies
on performance modeling and evaluation reflecting from the above points are
also encouraged.

In this international conference, we expect presentations of the latest
research results from the aspects of theory, simulation, and implementation,
as well as informal discussions, for the contribution to future development
in this field.


Expected subjects are, but not restricted to, the following and related topics: 

      Admission and Congestion Control 
      CATV 
      Cellular Systems 
      High-Speed LAN 
      Internet 
      Mobile Computing & Communication 
      Multicast Communication 
      Multimedia Communication 
      Network Management and Control 
      Optical Networks 
      Protocol Enhancement 
      Real Time Communication over IP Networks 
      WDMA 
      Wireless LAN and ATM 
      xDSL 
      Applications of Queueing Theory 
      Internet Traffic Models 
      Large Deviation Theory 
      Network Calculus 
      Numerical Analysis Techniques 
      Performance Evaluation Tools 
      Rare Event Simulation 
      Self-similar/Long-Memory Traffic Modeling 
      Spatial Teletraffic Models in Mobile Newtorks
