Conference Scope

The 10th International Conference on Telecommunication Systems - Modeling and Analysis
will be held in Dallas, Texas, on March 14-17, 2002. 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 to ensure the quality of presentations. A decentralized paper
handling process will be used. Abstracts and papers should be submitted directly to a
Program Committee member who will handle its review. It is expected that this will
expedite the paper review process. Social and cultural activities will be included in the
2002 agenda. Being the tenth conference in the series, the organizing committee is
planning special events for this conference. The conference site is the Edwin L. Cox
School of Business, at Southern Methodist University, near Downtown Dallas. 

The ProgramCommittee 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 so as to reduce teaching conflicts for
academic participants, and to enable participants to take advantage of weekend hotel and
airfare rates and of events that take place in the Downtown area.
