Program in Probability and Its Applications Workshop on Analysis and Simulation of Communication NetworksMonday November 9, 1998 -- Friday November 13, 1998Organizing CommitteeP. Glynn (Stanford University)D. McDonald (University of Ottawa) ProgramThe emphasis of this workshop is the application of probability to the telecommunications industry. One theme is the notion of "effective bandwidths" for pricing network services and "admission control". A second theme revolves around the questions of "traffic shaping" and "traffic characterization". Workshop speakers will present recent work showing strong statistical evidence of possible long-range dependence in the types of traffic typical of such networks. The above themes are intimately related to questions of large deviations and this in turn is related to importance sampling methods for simulating rare events. A satellite lecture, "Rate Control in Communications" was given by Frank P. Kelly at NORTEL in Ottawa on November 6, 1998. Schedule of WorkshopSpeakers invited to date include:
