  Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science (DMTCS) 
                  announces a Special Issue on 

           ALGORITHMS AND MODELS FOR TELECOMMUNICATION 

Scope : 

This special issue is an outgrowth of the AlgoTel workshop on 
Computational Telecommunication that was held at La Rochelle, France 
in may 2000. The purpose of this workshop was to bring together 
researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry. 
The aim was to provide a forum for discussion, presentation, and 
exploration of technologies and their advances in the broad field of 
design, implementation and applications of Algorithms and 
Telecommunication - ranging from routing algorithm, discrete 
algorithms and discrete modeling in the context of telecommunication 
to new communication systems. 

We invite you to submit papers that address novel, challenging, and 
innovative results. This special issue covers the technology needed to 
address the challenges raised by the merge of both the 
telecommunication and the networking world. The topics include, but 
are not limited to: 

Multicast and Routing Protocols 
Network Design 
Optical Communication Networks 
Performance Modeling/Analysis 
Quality of Services (QoS) Issues 
Satellite Communication Networks 
Wireless/Mobile Communication Networks 

We are especially interested in high-quality papers that advance the 
state-of-the-art and in practical applications of communication 
networks. Both theoretical contributions (presenting new techniques, 
concepts, or analyses) and applied contributions (reporting on 
experiences and experiments with actual systems) and tutorial 
expositions of permanent reference value are going to be published. 
Work-in-progress papers describing the state of on-going research 
projects are also encouraged. 

Manuscript Submission : 

This special issue will only consider electronic submissions in the 
format of postscript. To submit a paper for consideration, authors 
should send their paper by using the web page of DMTCS : 
http://dmtcs.loria.fr/compose/index.html 

The journal's language is English, all conventions for scientific work 
in that language apply. Potential authors may wish to consult the 
sections on author information and guidelines for reviewers, which are 
given at http://dmtcs.loria.fr/sample/ 

DMTCS will provide an acknowledgement of receipt of the paper within 
24 hours of submission.
