Event Details/Other Comments:

The conference is devoted to issues of decision support in applications to
telecommunications and computer networks, generally for information society.
This will be the eighth 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.
