Telecommunications have always been the subject of application for advanced mathematical techniques. In this chapter, we review classical nonlinear programming approaches to modeling and solving certain problems in telecommunications. We emphasize the common aspects of telecommunications and road networks, and indicate that several lessons are to be learned from the field of transportation scie...

This paper introduces the concept of a Telecommunications Enhanced Community (TEC). The TEC is a community which has a variable mix of real and telecommunications services for reasons of community sustainability. Some telecommunications services may be dispensed with if a population increase results from successful implementation. We examine a number of theories that can support such a concept ...

The telecommunications industry has been a fertile field of application for A I . Some of the earliest field applications of expert sy terns were in telecommunications. So when we are looking to the future we wish to examine the current status of AI in telecommunications. Is telecommunications to continue to be at the center of application of AI? If so what are the applications that wil l be ex...
