Conference Scope 
A wide variety of ATM products have been developed for local and wide-area, private and public networks. First-generation ATM public
services have been deployed on a global basis and efforts are now underway to implement full-service, large-scale ATM networks. Wired
(xDSL, HFC) and wireless (W-ATM) access networks enabling end-to-end ATM services are becoming available.  Integration between ATM and IP
evolves rapidly. Researchers and practitioners are studying issues like network design, network performance and traffic engineering,
network reliability and survivability, charging and tariffing, quality of service and multicast support. At the same time next generation
switching and routing technologies including IP over SONET/SDH or IP over WDM are being developed, converging cell and packet switching
architectures. 

Driving applications for integrated networks become visible, namely Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Voice over Packet (VOP) and group
communication services like conferencing and video on demand (VOD). They create new requirements on network architecture and management. 

The purpose of the conference is to share ideas, experiences, and information among researchers, developers, and service providers in the
field of data, voice and multimedia communications using ATM and other high-speed switching and routing technologies, including
Gigabit/Terabit switch/routers for optical networks.
