PROGRAM AND REGISTRATION

The fourth IEEE ATM Workshop sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society has the objective of fostering the exchange of information among those working in the diverse areas of ATM. The Workshop Committee invites participation from all those working in the area of ATM in academia, government, industry, network operators and service providers.

The Workshop will cover a large number of areas in ATM, namely: ATM services and applications, access networks, interworking, IP over ATM, ATM switch architecture, queue scheduling for service integration, routing, connection admission control, congestion control, multicasting, network performance evaluation, and survivable network design

The Workshop program will consist of plenary and parallel sessions from May 26th to May 29th, including the presentation and discussion of papers, keynote address, and three invited speakers.

The Workshop will take place at George Mason in Fairfax, Virginia, about 20 miles from Washington, D.C.

In response to the call for papers, some 144 papers have been submitted, from industrial, government and academic researchers around the world. Of these 144 submissions, 54 contributed papers have been selected for presentation at the workshop, complemented by a keynote address and three invited speakers.

A program has been formed based on the outcome of the review process. There will be sessions arranged in two parallel tracks. The theme of track A is "ATM Switching & Service Integration" and is comprised of the following sessions: Session A1 - ATM Switching I; Session A2 - ATM Switching II; Session A3 - Scheduling I; Session A4 - Scheduling II; Session A5 - ABR I; Session A6 - ABR II; Session A7 - IP/ATM I; Session A8 - IP/ATM II; and Session A9 - Multicasting.

The theme of Track B is "ATM Network Design", and is composed of the following sessions: Session B1 - Services & applications; Session B2 - Access networks ; Session B3 - Interworking; Session B4 - Call Admission Control ; Session B5 - PNNI Routing; Session B6 - Multipoint Communications; Session B7 - Performance models I; Session B8 - Performance models II; Session B9 - Network design for Reliability .
