This proposal is for a Workshop that will bring together                   well-known investigators in the theory of computer networks and                 world-class applied mathematicians in the area of queues and more               general stochastic processes, with the intent of generating new                 classes of simple, tractable mathematical models for computer                   networks.  It is generally felt that currently accepted models                  and methodologies have reached the point of sharply diminishing                 returns just when practical networks have begun to severely                     outgrow theoretical understanding.
