Dear Colleagues
Please note that due to many requests from colleagues worldwide, the
deadline of paper submission for the IFIP ATM & IP 2000 Workshop has
been extended until Friday the 12th of May 2000.

the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and near the famed Ilkley Moor.)
Over recent years a considerable amount of effort has been devoted,
both in industry and academia, towards the performance evaluation and
prediction of ATM and IP networks. However, there is still a set of
many interesting and important performance research problems to be
addressed and resolved before a global and wide-scale integrated
broadband network infrastructure can be established for the
cost-effective support of multimedia applications. This includes
performance modelling and analysis not only for the capacity planning
and evaluation of existing ATM and IP networks but also for the design
and development of a new generation of emerging networks such as native
IP networks with efficient flow control schemes, QoS protocols and
powerful gigabit routers as well as native ATM switch architectures to
support direct API, TCP/IP over ATM and integrated new switched
architectures.
The aim of the Eighth IFIP Workshop on ATM & IP Networks (IFIP ATM & IP
2000) is to contribute to fundamental research in both ATM and IP
technologies and internetworking issues and focus on performance and
reliability modelling and analysis of ATM, IP and ATM over IP networks.
As in earlier IFIP ATM events, the Workshop provides the friendly and
informal atmosphere in which participants from all over the world
exchange new concepts and ideas and discuss new operational solutions
and research initiatives. In particular, delegates are encouraged to
address
. performance aspects of existing and emerging Internet technologies
and their potential relationship with new ATM switch architectures, and
. self similarity and multifractal traffic models of long-range (LRD)
versus short-range (SRD) dependence
Contributions are encouraged on the
performance modelling and evaluation, including reliability and
pricing, of both IP and ATM issues such as
. Internet Protocols over ATM Networks
. ATM and IP Switch Architectures
. Wireless IP/ATM for Terrrestrial and Satellite Networks
. Multiservice IP/ATM Mobile and Optical Networks
. ATM and IP Traffic Measurement and Management
. ATM and IP Traffic Modelling and Characterisation
. ATM and IP Call Admission Control (CAC)
. Cell/Packet Level Scheduling Strategies
. IP and ATM Resource Allocation Strategies
. Flow and Congestion Control Functions and Procedures
. QoS Routing, Load Balancing Techniques and Network Resilience
. Multimedia over Packet-based Networks
. Quantitative Methodologies and Tools
. Queueing Network Models of New ATM Switch/IP Router Architectures
. Support of Diffserv in ATM networks
. Mapping IP Intserv and Diffserv Models on to ATM Networks
. Real-time Voice/Video Transport over ATM versus IP Networks
. Efficiency of Adaptation Layer and Transport Protocols
. ATM versus IP QoS Performance Testing and Measurements
. IP/ATM Internetworking Issues and Experiments
Based on the pattern established at the series of IFIP ATM Workshops in
Bradford (1993-94), Ilkley (1995-98) and Antwerp (1999), the Technical
Programme of IFIP ATM & IP 2000 will combine research and tutorial
papers from industry and academia on current developments in the theory
and practice of performance modelling and evaluation issues of ATM and
IP networks worldwide. In addition, poster research papers will be
solicited and special sessions of practical industrial papers and
research works in progress will also be organised, as appropriate.
Prospective authors are invited to submit via email to the IFIP
ATM & IFIP 2000 Workshop
. Research papers or position statements up to a maximum
of 12 A4 size pages (single spaced text)
. Technical abstracts of approximately 300 words for poster
contributions, industrial papers of a practical nature or academic
research works in progress
. Proposals on 1-2 A4 size pages (single spaced text) for a tutorial
paper
- for Programme Committee and peer selection review by Tuesday the 2nd
of May 2000 - to:
Mandy Murray, ATM & IP 2000 Secretary, Computer and Communications
Systems Modelling Research Group, Department of Computing, University
of Bradford, Bradford BD7 1DP, West Yorkshire, Tel: +44-1274-233921,
E-mail: atm2000@scm.brad.ac.uk, Fax: +44-1274-233920.
Please note all proposed submissions should be in English and be sent
as email attachments using PostScript or PDF file format and include,
as key words, a list of topics under which the authors prefer their
work to be classified and presented.
Following acceptance, authors will be notified (via email) by Wednesday
the 31st of May 2000 to prepare in camera ready form (single spaced text)
for the
. IFIP Technical Proceedings (ISBN to be announced) - revised
research papers not longer than 12 A4 size pages which should be
finalised according to the referees' remarks
. Participants Volume I - industrial papers and research works in progress
up to a maximum of 8 A4 size pages or shorter poster papers of about 6
A4 size pages
. Participants Volume II - tutorial papers not more than 30 A4 size pages
by Wednesday the 14th of June 2000.
The authors of mature work will also be invited to submit extended
versions of their papers up to a maximum of 25 A4 pages (single spaced text)
by Friday the 1st September 2000, for consideration, subject to a
subsequent peer review, for publication as either a dedicated IFIP Book
on the performance analysis of ATM & IP networks or, special issue(s) in
a reputable journal(s) of learning.
For further information prospective participants are welcome to contact
Professor Demetres Kouvatsos (e-mail: D.D.Kouvatsos@comp.brad.ac.uk,
Tel.: +44-1274-233941, Fax: +44-1274-233920).

NOTES
=====
Dear Colleagues
We would like to draw your attention to the following points:
1. Please accept our sincerest apologies if you receive more than one copy
of this communication. This may be due to your membership of more than one
mailing lists.
2. To simplify administration and maintain continuity with past IFIP
events, the format of the IFIP ATM & IP 2000 meeting at Ilkley, U.K.,
will be a single Workshop.
3. There are two new books related to the theme of the IFIP ATM & IP Workshop
2000, namely
(i) The fourth IFIP volume entitled 'PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF ATM NETWORKS',
published (Sept. '99) by Kluwer Academic Publishers, U.S.A.
(ISBN 0-412-83640-8), and
(ii) The first millennium book of tutorial papers entitled 'PERFORMANCE
EVALUATION AND APPLICATIONS OF ATM NETWORKS' to be published by Kluwer
Academic Publishers, U.S.A. (ISBN no. to be announced).
The contents of these books together with more information on the IFIP
ATM & IP 2000 Workshop can be found at <http://www.scm.brad.ac.uk/Events/ATMIP2000> (ATM & IP 2000 official Web).
