Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks are widely considered to be
the new generation of high speed communication systems both for
broadband public information highways and for local and wide area
private networks. Over recent years there has been a great deal of
progress in research and development of ATM technology, but there are
still many interesting and important problems to be resolved such as
traffic characterisation and control, routing and optimisation, ATM
switching techniques and provision of specified quality of service.
The aim of the Workshop is to contribute to fundamental research in ATM
technology and focus on performance modelling and analysis of ATM
networks.
The Workshop will commence with a
. Tutorial Programme in which eminent researchers and practitioners in
the field present the fundatmental technology and performance issues
for ATM networks. There will be 6 tutorials and comprehensive notes
are provided.
This will be followed by the main
. Technical Programme of some 75 research papers, both from industry
and from academia, worldwide, on current developments in the theory
and practice of performance modelling and evaluation of ATM
networks.
The Workshop provides the friendly and informal atmosphere in which
participants from all over the world exchange new ideas and discuss
developments in this most interesting and challenging area of high
growth.
For registration details, prospective participants are invited to
contact Vassilis Tsantos (email: atm96@comp.brad.ac.uk, fax: +44 1274
383920). Further information on the Technical Programme can be

the River Ouse
Fountains Abbey was founded by Cistercian Monks in 1132 and is now the largest
monastic ruin in Britain. The Abbey ruins stand on the banks of the River Skell
adjacent to the 18th century landscape gardens of Studley Royal. The gardens
are famed for one of the few surviving examples of a Georgian green garden,
water garden, ornamental temples and follies and for magnificent vistas. The
gardens are bounded by a lake and 400 acres of deer park.
York has, in its history, been the principal military centre during the Roman
occupation of Britain, the centre of the Viking civilisation in Britain and
the county town of by far the largest county of Britain. Much of the city
walls survive from the Middle Ages.
