Conference Scope

The 2009 International Conference on Telecommunication Systems - Modeling and Analysis will be held at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA on July 9-12, 2009. 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. Abstracts and papers should be submitted directly to the Conference Chairman who will handle its review. Social and cultural activities will be included in the 2009 agenda. The organizing committee is planning special events for this conference. The conference site is the Naval Postgraduate School at Monterey, CA.

The Program Committee 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 and of events that take place in the Monterey area.

Potential participants should send by March 15, 2009 a paper to the conference general chair. The technical program committee will evaluate the papers, and a decision will be sent to the authors by April 1, 2009 with instructions for the final version of the paper, which is due by June 1, 2009. Full paper contributions will be considered for publication in the Telecommunication Systems Journal. Conference participants will be provided with the conference proceedings (a collection of papers presented at the conference)
