During the last two decades we have seen a tremendous development
within the computer and communication industry. The ever increasing
density on silicon, the increasing transmission speeds on fiber
based systems as well as twisted pairs, the revolutionary
development in the wireless area and of course the Internet have
all led to many opportunities for new service developments. It is
interesting to note that the last time this conference was held
three years ago, the Web really did not fully exist. We are now
ready to face new interesting challenges. It is an utmost
importance for the performance community to focus on the modeling
and analysis of the Internet, the multimedia applications and the
untethered applications that are coming to the forefront. There
will be a need for new and better simulation methods, new
analytical tools and a much better understanding of measurement
techniques. "Performance of Information and Communication Systems",
PICS'98, which takes place in Lund, Sweden, May 25-28, 1998, is the
seventh conference in a series on performance of communication
systems organized by IFIP TC 6, WG 6.3. In response to our call for
papers, we have received nearly fifty submissions.
There are many exciting trends and developments in the
communications industry, several of which are related to advances
in fast packet switching, multi media services, asynchronous
transfer mode (ATM) and high-speed protocols. It seems fair to say
that the face of networking has been rapidly changing and the
distinction between LANs, MANs, and WANs is becoming more and more
blurred. It is commonly believed in the industry that ATM
represents the next generation in networking. The adoption of ATM
standards by the research and development community as a unifying
technology for communications that scales from local to wide area
has been met with great enthusiasm from the business community and
end users. Reflecting these trends, the technical program of the
First International Conference on LAN Interconnection consists of
papers addressing a wide range of technical challenges and state of
the art reviews. We are fortunate to have assembled a strong
program committee, expert speakers, and panelists. We would like to
thank Professor Schwartz for his keynote speech. We would like to
thank Professor Yannis Viniotis and his students for the
preparation of the index. We gratefully acknowledge the generous
financial support of Dr. Jon Fjeld, Mr. Rick McGee, and Mr. David
Witt, all of IBM-Research Triangle Park. We also would like to
thank Ms. Mary Safford, our editor, and Mr. John Matzka, both at
Plenum Press, for the publication of the proceedings.
