Part B on: Performance Modeling and Simulation of ATM Systems and
Networks

Guest Editor: Professor Mohammad S. Obaidat, 

ATM is one of the major enabling technologies of high-speed
networking. It is the first technology that offers a corporation the
capability to use a common enterprise-wide protocol and
infrastructure for all voice, data, and video communications. ATM
excels when applications require specific quality of service (QoS)
and reserved bandwidth. ATM offers combined switching and routing
within the WAN, as well as a backbone technology of choice for
high-performance, QoS-aware campus backbone, coexisting with IP and
LAN switching. These are the main key features that allow ATM to
become the common platform for enterprise-wide computer
communications. ATM allows a user to send voice, video, and data from
his/her computer to peer nodes anywhere across the WAN. Furthermore,
ATM provides the infrastructure of a seamless single protocol for all
traffic types. It offers economies of scale in network infrastructure
through by integrating different traffic types. ATM is more efficient
than multiple separate networks. The trend is that traditional
telecom carriers as well as many Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
increasingly rely on ATM in their backbone infrastructure. It is a
multiplexing and switching technology that provides flexibility,
versatility, and scalability. ATM offers a tighter coupling between
the user application and network protocol. It places intelligence
into the WAN making the network smarter and allowing the network to
become more like a computer and less than a dump transport medium.
ATM excels when it is desirable for applications with different
performance, QoS, and business requirements to be performed on the
same computer multiplexer, router, switch, and/or network. ATM
enables network managers to flexibly adapt to changing enterprise
communications requirements, evolving business environment, and
fluctuating traffic volumes and patterns.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to:

* IP over ATM 
* TCP over ATM                  
* ATM over WDM  and DWDM
* ATM switching/switches
* Quality of Service (QoS)
* ATM LANs
* LAN Emulation (LANE)
* Connection Admission Control (CAC) protocols
* Multiservice ATM multiplexers 
* Voice over ATM
* ATM traffic management
* Traffic and congestion control
* Traffic Shaping               
* Delay and loss priority control       

* Flow control and congestion avoidance
* Buffering techniques
* IP/ATM vs. IP/SONET 
* Wireless ATM (WATM)    
* Tools, Methodologies, and Applications
* Intelligent ATM networks
* ATM over Satellite systems
* ATM over xDSL
* ATM Cable Modem
* MultiProtocol Over ATM (MPOA)
* ATM-based cellular networks
