Call for Paper Special Session on Performance of Internet Protocols over ATM Networks In SPIE International Symposium on Voice, Video & Data Communications Conference on Performance and Control of Network Systems 1-6 November 1998, Boston, Massachusetts, USA It is expected that in the near future many legacy networks running Internet protocols will be interconnected via ATM networks. The aim of this special session is to solicit paper on the performance of Internet protocols and applications over ATM networks with special emphasis on studies or experiments where the Internet sources and destinations are connected to the legacy LANs. The topics include, but are not limited to: - Performance of TCP/IP over ATM networks - Performance of WWW over ATM networks - Performance of end-to-end traffic management techniques in IP/ATM/IP networks - Impact of ATM virtual circuit set-up latency - Impact of ATM call-blocking - Performance of ATM connection management techniques at the IP/ATM edge device - Performance of bandwidth management techniques at the IP/ATM edge device Authors wishing to submit their contributions to the above special session should send postscript version of the full paper (camera ready copy will be limited to 12 single spaced pages) via e-mail to one of the following session chairs. All submissions will be refereed by two experts in the area. For submission details to other sessions in the conference please see the general CFP below for the SPIE Conference on Performance and Control of Network Systems.

This evolution of telecommunications requires the use of new and more sophisticated solutions in the development of networking technologies and infrastructure in all domains: access, local-area, campus, and wide-area. As network systems become increasingly complex and network services more heterogeneous, traffic engineering plays a crucial role to ensure that diverse quality of service requirements can be met efficiently and cost-effectively. Traffic considerations are also extremely important in evaluating different architectural and technological alternatives and cost-performance trade-offs. To support these network administration and planning activities, new networking principles and traffic theories are needed. The aim of this conference is to promote discussion on the development of performance evaluation techniques, traffic control principles, traffic engineering methods and practices. Papers surveying an area are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . comparative quantitative evaluation of different architectures . QoS networking requirements and standards . WWW, Internet, and on-line services . traffic characterization, control, measurement, models, and tools . traffic bandwidth management and resource allocation . teletraffic theory, queueing models, polling models . performance evaluation, scalability, reliability, and availability . control and scheduling algorithms for service integration . network design and dimensioning (access network, core network) . empirical approach, prototyping experience and trial results . operations support systems and network management tools . administration, management, and measurement of multiservice networks . call control and handling . network interface, including medium access protocols and controls . pricing, tariffs, and billing . operator services and customer care Proceedings of this conference will be published and available at the symposium. Length of camera-ready manuscript is limited to 12 pages with text single-spaced. There is a service charge of $30 for each additional manuscript page in the published proceedings. Electronic submission of manuscript is preferred. Either PostScript, PDF, or MS-Word formatted files are acceptable. When preparing the manuscript, please use common fonts and US letter page format to facilitate printing. Full papers are preferred, although extended abstracts of about 2500 words may also be submitted for consideration. To complete your submission, please send all of the following items by e-mail: . in FORMATTED FILE (as described above): the full paper or extended abstract (send to waisum@buckaroo.att.com or one of the program committee members) . in PLAIN TEXT: the title of the paper, a 250-word abstract, and the author listing (principal author first) with full name, affiliation, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number and fax number for each author (send to BOTH waisum@buckaroo.att.com and abstracts@spie.org) When sending to abstracts@spie.org please include in the Subject line: LAI If electronic submission is not possible, please mail five (5) copies of your paper to either one of the program committee members or: Dr. Wai Sum Lai AT&T Labs, Room 1K-215 101 Crawfords Corner Road Holmdel, New Jersey 07733-3030 USA Schedule: 31 March, 1998 Deadline for Receipt of Extended Abstracts 30 June, 1998 Notification of Acceptance Mailed 10 August, 1998 Final Camera-Ready Papers Due to SPIE
