This workshop will bring together research mathematicians and telecommunications experts to discuss the methodologies needed to support the efficient management and design of communication networks. The topics will include bandwidth allocation problems, wireless/mobile computing, the design of resilent networks, optical networking (routing and wavelength assignments), interconnection networks, and internet routing and protocols

This workshop will include applications from game theory, combinatorics, graph theory, linear algebra, algorithms (including approximation algorithms), polyhedral combinatorics, and coding theory. Specific methodologies would include graph coloring, very large scale linear programming, multi-commodity flow, combinatorial heuristics, and general integer programming.
