Overview

The diversity of methodologies and applications in the literature for the performance modelling and analysis of ATM networks, widely considered as a new generation of high speed communication systems, attests to the breadth and richness of recent ATM research and developments. This work contains 17 tutorial papers by researchers and practitioners in the ATM field worldwide. It offers a source of reference, reflecting state-of-the-art material for further research and development in the performance evaluation and applications field of ATM networks. Topics discussed in this book include: ATM traffic modelling and characterization; ATM traffic management and control; ATM routing and network resilience; IP/ATM networks integration; optical, wireless and satelite networks; analytical techniques for ATM networks.; The text maintains throughout an effective balance between descriptive and quantitative approaches for the presentation of important ATM mechanisms and performance evaluation techniques. It unifies ATM performance modelling material that is already well known and introduces readers to some less familiar and unexplored ATM performance evaluation and application research areas. It is ideal for personnel in computer/communication industries as well as academic researchers in computer science and electrical engineering.
