The Applied Telecommunication Symposium (ATS) is an international forum for exchange of technical knowledge and presentation of original papers on the analysis of telecommunication systems and technologies. It is intended for professionals, engineers, software developers, managers, and others interested in cellular and packet traffic characteristics, analysis of telecommunication networks, and practitioners operating telecommunication networks. We are looking for innovative technical papers describing projects, applications, and research and development work pertinent to telecommunication. The following tracks (with track chairs listed) will be held; the topics are representative of the track, but are not necessarily exclusive to that track:
