High-Speed Networking for Multimedia Applications presents the
latest research on the architecture and protocols for high-speed
networks, focusing on communication support for distributed
multimedia applications. This includes the two major issues of ATM
Networking and quality of service for multimedia applications. It
is to be expected that most of the bandwidth in future high-speed
networks will be taken up by multimedia applications, transmitting
digital audio and video. Traditional networking protocols are not
suitable for this as they do not provide guaranteed bandwidth,
end-to-end delay or delay jitter, nor do they have addressing
schemes or routing algorithms for multicast connections. High-Speed
Networking for Multimedia Applications is a collection of high
quality research papers which address these issues, providing
interesting and innovative solutions. It is an essential reference
for engineers and computer scientists working in this area. It is
also a comprehensive text for graduate students of high-speed
networking and multimedia applications.
Multimedia data streams will form a major part of the new
generation of applications in high-speed networks. Continuous media
streams, however, require transmission with guaranteed performance.
In addition, many multimedia applications will require
peer-to-multipeer communication. Guaranteed performance can only be
provided with resource reservation in the network, and efficient
multipeer communication must be based on multicast support in the
lower layers of the network. Architecture and Protocols for
High-Speed Networks focuses on techniques for building the networks
that will meet the needs of these multimedia applications. In
particular two areas of current research interest in such
communication systems are covered in depth. These are the protocol
related aspects, such as switched networks, ATM, MAC layer, network
and transport layer; and the services and applications.
Architecture and Protocols for High-Speed Networks contains
contributions from leading world experts, giving the most
up-to-date research available. It is an essential reference for all
professionals, engineers and researchers working in the area of
high-speed networks.
High-Performance Networks for Multimedia Applications presents the
latest research on the services and protocols for networks
providing the communication support for distributed multimedia
applications. The need for end-to-end QoS for these multimedia
applications is raising the stakes for a powerful shaping and
scheduling in the network adapter. It is also creating a need for
new services at the ATM layer, CBR and VBR being augmented by UBR,
ABR and GFR which have to be evaluated in the TCP/IP environment of
today and tomorrow. With the pressure of all the new technologies
available today, the backbone architecture needs to be revisited
and the success of the TCP/IP must not eliminate the possibility of
adding a native ATM access to it. Most of the research in
communication services such as IntServ, DiffServ and Native ATM is
driven by the requirements of multimedia systems and this book
illustrates the new emphasis by bringing telecommunication and
computer communication experts together with application designers.
This is particularly true for the security issues also addressed
here. Last but not least, modeling techniques and mathematical
models are essential to assess the performance of the networks to
be built and to evaluate next century scenarios unachievable by a
simple scaling of today's solutions. High-Performance Networks for
Multimedia Applications is a collection of high quality research
papers and the in-depth treatment of the subjects provides
interesting and innovative solutions. It is an essential reference
for telecommunication and computer experts and QoS-based
application designers. It is also a comprehensive text for graduate
students in high-perforrnance networks and multimedia applications.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th
International COST 237 Workshop, held in Lisboa, Portugal, in
December 1997 of the European COST Programme on Multimedia
Telecommunication Services. The 12 revised full papers presented
were selected from 24 submissions. The topics covered include
multimedia presentation, QoS Control, electronic commerce, CORBA
and DCE, real-time multimedia, multimedia conferenceing, multicast
networking, heterogeneous communications environments, and others.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third
International COST 237 Workshop, held in Barcelona, Spain, in
November 1996.
The 15 revised full papers presented in the volume were carefully
selected from a total of 34 submissions by COST project
participants as well as from outside. The papers are organized in
sections on multipeer and group communication, quality of service,
applications and teleservices, multimedia protocols and platforms,
and performance studies.

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Second COST 237
International Workshop, held in Copenhagen, Denmark in November
1995 in the framework of the CEC COST 237 Multimedia
Telecommunications Services Project.
The 15 papers included in revised full versions were chosen from 24
workshop submissions individually solicited from groups of
researchers and developers known to be active in the areas of
interest. The papers are grouped in sections on multipeer
communications, teleservices and applications support, broadband
network and transport services, QoS assurance, and multimedia
support.
This volume presents the proceedings of the International COST 237
Workshop, held in Vienna in November 1994 in the framework of the
CEC COST 237 Multimedia Telecommunications Services Projects.
The 24 papers presented in revised version were selected from 46
submissions; they are organized in sections on teleservices,
multimedia mail, archiving and retrieving; teleservice support;
quality of service and synchronization; multipeer communication;
broadband network transport issues; and variable bit rate video
coding transport.

The tremendous development of the communication environment with
local area networks and broadband ISDN has opened the way for
drastic changes in network performance and has introduced new
services. Within the framework of Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI), the goal of the ESPRIT project OSI95 (High Performance OSI
Protocols with Multimedia Support on HSLANs and B-ISDN) was to
design and formally specify a new transport service (and a
transport protocol) able to meet the requirements of the new
applications and to offer the services available at network and
sub-network levels. This report gives an extended presentation of
the new networking environment and the rationale for new standards,
then presents the various tasks and goals of the OSI95 project.
