Multimedia Applications Support for Wireless ATM Networks (Innbundet (stive permer))

Anna Hac received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the Department of Electronics, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland. She is currently a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu. Her research contributions include system and workload modeling, performance analysis, reliability, modeling process synchronization mechanisms for distributed systems, distributed algorithms, congestion control in high-speed networks, reliable software architecture for switching systems, telecommunications and wireless networks, and network management.

Telecommunications and wireless networks have been the topic of research for several decades. With the employment of telephone and radio a new era in communications has begun. A few generations of telecommunications networks have evolved into a worldwide network with countless applications of various media and interactive users. This course aims to teach the reader to design high-speed wireless networks supporting multimedia applications. Topics covered include: ATM and wireless networks and their architecture; congestion control and protocols; location and tracking strategies; routing and resource management for multimedia applications; synchronization; multicasting; and quality of service for multimedia applications.
