VI International Conference on Decision Support for Telecommunications and Information Society
July 18-20, 2007, Warsaw, Poland

GENERAL INFORMATION

Conference objectives
The conference is devoted to issues of decision support in applications to telecommunications and computer networks, generally for information society. This will be the sixth conference on this subject of growing importance, with a tradition starting at the year 2000.
The dynamics of telecommunication sector development and strong competition in this sector in most countries induce telecommunication operators to use new computerised tools. Such tools might help in planning network development, in assessing financial and economic standing, in network design and management, in corporate management including strategic decisions and negotiations of interconnection agreements. The intensive development and decreasing costs of information technology increase the availability of such tools. The aim of this conference is to bring together international experts and researchers working in decision support and related fields, in order to present diverse methods and tools of decision analysis and support as well as knowledge engineering, which are applied in telecommunications industry and information society. Contributions are invited in the following areas:

• Distributed and agent based modelling
• Analytical modelling
• Multicriteria decision support systems
• Data mining
• Data warehousing
• Knowledge engineering and management
• Soft computing
• Security in telecommunications
• Decision support for information society
• Implementation of all above subjects in planning and management of telecommunications networks
