This is the sixth conference in the series which started in 1981 in
Paris, followed by conferences held in Zurich (1984), Rio de
Janeirio (1987), Barcelona (1991), and Raleigh (1993). The main
objective of this IFIP conference series is to provide a platform
for the exchange of recent and original contributions in
communications systems in the areas of performance analysis,
architectures, and applications. There are many exiciting trends
and developments in the communications industry, several of which
are related to advances in Asynchronous Transfer Mode*(ATM),
multimedia services, and high speed protocols. It is commonly
believed in the communications industry that ATM represents the
next generation of networking. Yet, there are a number of issues
that has been worked on in various standards bodies, government and
industry research and development labs, and universities towards
enabling high speed networks in general and ATM networks in
particular. Reflecting these trends, the technical program of the
Sixth IFIP W.G. 6.3 Conference on Performance of Computer Networks
consists of papers addressing a wide range of technical challenges
and proposing various state of the art solutions to a subset of
them. The program includes 25 papers selected by the program
committee out of 57 papers submitted.
Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) is conceived
as an all-purpose digital network supporting interactive and
distributive services, bursty and continuous traffic,
connection-oriented and connectionless services, all in the same
network. The concepts of ISDN in general and B-ISDN in particular
have been evolving since CCIIT adopted the rrrst set ofISDN
recommendations in 1984. Thirteen recommendations outlining the
fundamental principles and initial specifications for B-ISDN were
approved in 1990, with Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) being the
transfer mode of choice for B-ISDN. It seems fair to say that
B-ISDN concepts have changed the face of networking. The expertise
we have developed for a century on telephone systems and over a
number of decades on packet networks is proving to be insufficient
to deploy and operate the envisioned B-ISDNs. Much more needs to be
understood and satisfactorily addressed before ATM networks can
become a reality. Tricomm'93 is dedicated to A TM networks. The
technical program consists of invited papers addressing a large
subset of issues of practical importance in the deployment of ATM
networks. This is the sixth in a series of Research Triangle
Conferences on Computer Communications, which emerged through the
efforts of the local chapter of IEEE Communications Society.
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.
