- Previously, I sent a message to let folks know about this upcoming event
- at MCNC. I had asked you to let me know by Thurs. Nov. 19 if you
- plan to attend here at MCNC.
-
- This event will also be broadcast over the CONCERT video network. Below is
- a list of the sites on the network. Please contact the
- program coordinator at one of these remote sites if you are planning to
- attend there. If you work on one of the campuses or live nearby and plan
- to go to the seminar directly from home, please plan to attend at the remote
- site closest to you. We have a limited amount of space here at MCNC so
- this would be a tremendous help.

- *****************************************************************************
- On Friday, Dec. 11 from 8am-noon, Dr. Maurizio Decina will be speaking in the
- MCNC auditorium. His presentation will be on ATM high speed switching options.
- I need to know how many people are interested in attending this presentation
- by Thursday, Nov. 19.
-
- MCNC is located at 3021 Cornwallis Rd., the northeast corner of Alexander Dr.
- and Cornwallis Rd., in Research Triangle Park. The auditorium, where the
- lecture will take place, is in the Center for Microelectronics Systems
- Technology building. It's the first building on the left when you drive into
- the MCNC driveway. Parking is limited, so please try to carpool if at all
- possible.

- Title: High Speed Switching for Broadband Communications
-
- Abstract:
- At first, service requirements for broadband communications are reviewed,
- including single media (data communications, video communications) and
- multimedia applications.
- The current status of STM ( Synchronous Transfer Mode) and ATM (Asynchronous
- Transfer Mode) high speed switching options in the framework of the B-ISDN
- (broadband ISDN) is briefly reviewed by highlighting both the multirate
- challenge for STM and the congestion control challenge for ATM.
- Then, STM and ATM interconnection networks are classified in the frame of a
- common taxonomy. Hence, a few types of ATM switching systems are identified and
- their performance and implementation are briefly discussed.
- Finally, a view on today's non-ATM high speed switching alternatives
- is given, including:
- -STM multirate switches,
- -variable length datagram switches,
- The various switching options are described by taking into account technologies
- for the implementation of both buffer modules and electronic/photonic space
- interconnections modules.
