Newsgroups: comp.parallel From: Maher Kaddoura Subject: Special Issue Organization: ATC Date: 2 Jan 1998 21:33:06 GMT Message-ID: <68jmei$kd9$1@encore.ece.cmu.edu> Special Issue of the International Journal of Parallel and Distributed Systems and Networks on ATM Switching/Networking Architectures and Performance A special issue of the International Journal of Parallel and Distributed Systems and Networks will focus on the broad area of ATM switching and networking. Original, unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. Over the last decade, ATM switch architectures have matured in their design. The success of the Internet has boosted the convergence between the communications and computer technologies. This has shifted researcher's interest to make ATM a multi-service technology that can efficiently carry real-time (voice), non-real time (data) services as well as new services. Emerging services have greatly affected the architectural requirements of the next-generation ATM switch based networks. In addition to being able to sustain very high throughputs and being scalable, ATM switches now need to support new features that might require new/additional protocols/schemes. Topics of interest to this special issue will include, but not limited to, the following: . ATM switch architecture, modeling and simulation . ATM network architecture, modeling and simulation . Fault-tolerant ATM switches . Routing and congestion control protocols in ATM . QoS in ATM . ATM LAN emulation technologies . Wireless ATM . ATM performance evaluation . ATM security . ATM network management . Economical aspects of ATM implementation . Application of ATM to High Speed Optical Network (ATM/SONET Integration) . Any other interesting topic that is relevant to ATM Prospective authors should follow the regular guidelines of the Journal and submit FOUR copies of the manuscript to the Guest Editor by the following due dates: Full Manuscript Due April 1, 1998 Notification of Acceptance August 30, 1998 All papers related to this special issue should be addressed to Prof. Mohsen Guizani Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Missouri-Columbia/Kansas City 5605 Troost Avenue Kansas City, MO 64110-2823, USA.
