ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
As Chairman of COST Action 285 and co-editor of this book I wish to express my sincere thanks to all the members of the Management Committee for their full and active participation in the studies embraced by the Action including the decision to sponsor this symposium in which they presented the results of their individual research in different aspects of modeling and simulation of communication networks and services. I would particularly like to mention here Prof Dr Zhili Sun, a member of the Management Committee, made a unique contribution to the organization and success of the Symposium. The symposium was very much enriched and gained much breadth and depth by the participation of many experts in the field from outside the Action Group, from the United States of America, and Europe who willingly accepted our invitation to attend and contribute to our deliberations. It would be invidious to single out names but I would like to mention Dr Arnold Bragg, of the Center for Advanced Research, RTI International NC/USA, who played a very important role inside the Committee as well as in the preparation and conduct of the symposium and in the editing of this book. I owe them all many thanks and much gratitude. Last but by no means least I would like to express my appreciation to the COST Office Scientific Secretariat for the administrative and financial support given to the Action and Prof Dr Zhili Sun for making the facilities and staff of his Centre for Communication System Research, Surrey University UK, available for the symposium. Finally, it gives me pleasure to acknowledge the support I received from Prof Dr Ercan Topuz, Technical Secretary of the Action and Mr Zerhan Ener as well as from
