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.
