Call for Participation:
INOC2003 - International Network Optimization Conference
October 27-29, 2003 Evry/Paris, France Organized by INT (Institut National des Télécommunications, France) and
CNRS/SAMOVAR (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique)
Supported by : INFORMS (Section on Telecommunications),
GET (Groupe des Ecoles des Télécommunications)
France Telecom
Roadef (French Operation Research Society)
ITC (international Teletraffic Congress)
+++Scope+++
Information sciences and communication technologies are increasingly both a
main focus and a major application of well-established
as well as emerging theories and techniques. Examples are Operations Research, Graph Theory and Queueing Theory, in addition to Stochastic Search, to state just a few. The aim of this conference is to bring together people from those disciplines with a main focus on network optimization. Special attention will be given to the latest technologies and to the challenges encountered therein. +++Topics+++
Topics include, but are not limited to :
-Issues : Clustering, Routing, Scheduling, Nomadicity/Mobility, Network
Models, Network Performance, Network loading, Location, Traffic Engineering,
Frequency Assignment, Information Retrieval, Network Planning, Pricing,
Survivability, Reliability,
Uncertainty, Resources Allocation, Topological Design, Multi-layer Networks, Cryptography, Quality of service, online problems -Tools : Distributed Algorithms, Graph Theory, Queueing Theory, Operations Research, Soft Computing, Integer Programming, Non-linear Programming, Measurement Techniques, Metaheuristics, Stochastic Models, Evolutionary Computation, Simulated Annealing, Taboo Search, Simulation, Approximation algorithms -Technologies : IP Networks, MPLS, TCP, Mobiles(3G,4G), ATM, Adhoc Networks, Wireless, Lower Layers, SONET/SDH, Optical Networks, Multimedia, World Wide Web +++Important dates+++

Authors should submit a short paper (4 to 6 pages) to be publisehd in the
conference proceedings (book format).
Authors of accepted short papers are invited to submit a longer version of their work to be published in Annals of Operations Research. +++Evaluation process+++ Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and
soundness.
Each paper will be refereed by at least two researchers in the topic area. +++Location+++
The conference will be held in Evry (30Km south of Paris). Participants can
stay either in Evry or in Paris.
