MTPT will be organized as follows:

	The event will be publicized at the web site (www.lx.it.pt/mtpt/).
	In the announcement, a call for problems will be opened and will remain open until late in 2002. A template for the electronic submission of problems will be made available on the web site.
	A panel, composed mainly of mathematicians, will evaluate the problems by-weekly and the selected problems will be posted on the web site (organized around the five main themes).
	Interested mathematicians are expected to pick-up problems from the posted list, work arround them, and submit proposed solutions.
	A 5 day workshop will be held from 8-12 Sptember. Each day will be devoted to one theme. Each workshop day will include: A presentation of a mathematical subject (3 hours, in two periods of 1.5 hours each during the morning) related to each one of the mentioned themes; Two short presentations (of 30 to 45 minutes each), to be delivered by Portuguese researchers, focusing on the application of the mathematical theme to telecommunication problems; Presentation of selected pairs of problems/solutions (1.5 to 2 hours). This would enable to present up to 3 problems (and solutions) per day.
