Wireless ATM Networking Workshop Program

["Andrew T. Campbell" <[e-mail]>]

		Wireless ATM Networking Workshop
	        - State of the Art and Beyond -

	Friday, June 14, 1996, Columbia University, New York, NY

Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode (WATM) is motivated by the increasing
importance of portable computing applications in business, consumer and
industrial applications. As multimedia applications migrate to portable
devices, wireless extensions to existing broadband networks will be required
to support the seamless delivery of integrated voice, video and data with
high quality. In this context WATM is intended to be a direct extension of
the wired ATM network with uniformity of end-to-end QoS guarantees.

This workshop brings together a number of leading researchers who have been
actively involved in: i) the implementation of prototype WATM networks, and
ATM mobility management and QoS control schemes; and ii) the establishment
of the recent WATM Working Group in the ATM Forum. The goal of the workshop
is to discuss the state of the art and future challenges in WATM networking.

Organizing Committee: Cristina Aurrecoechea, (Columbia University), Andrew
T. Campbell Chair (Columbia University), Jean-Francois Huard (Columbia
University), Mahesan Nandikesan (Columbia University)

Location: The workshop will take place in the auditorium of the Schapiro
Research Building on the Morning-side Campus of Columbia University at 530
West 120th Street, between Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway. The workshops
attendance is limited to 50 participants.

Sponsors: The workshop is sponsored by the Center for Telecommunications
Research at Columbia University.
