READING GROUP PAPERS:

• Style Sheet

• LaTeX Thesis Template

• "How to do research in the MIT AI Lab" has some good ideas for researchers in general.
  
  
• "Analysis, Modeling and Generation of Self-Similar VBR Video Traffic" by by Mark W. Garrett and Walter Willinger.
  
  
• " Congestion Control and Traffic Management in ATM Networks: Recent Advances and A Survey" by Raj Jain.
  
  
• Using High Speed Networks to Enable Distributed Parallel Image Server Systems.
  
  
• ATM FAQ
  
  
• Introductory ATM Paper describing IP over ATM. The focus of this paper is running IP over ATM, but there is an extensive tutorial on ATM. John David Cavanaugh and Timothy J. Salo, "Internetworking with ATM WANs", 1992.
  
  
• Parallel Computing on ATM Networks. C. C. Huang and P. K. McKinley, "Communication Issues in Parallel Computing across ATM Networks," IEEE Parallel and Distributed Technology, accepted to appear, 1994.
  
  
• A Pipelined, Multi-Processor Architecture for a Connectionless Server for Broadband ISDN is a masters thesis by Daniel Omundsen. I think the thesis is a good prototype for research in this field and has a fairly good bibliography and intro to ATM.
  
  
• Performance Analysis of parallel library interfaces to ATM Networks. "Mengjou Lin and Jenwei Hsieh and David H.C. Du and Joseph P. Thomas, "Distributed Network Computing over Local ATM Networks", to appear in IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Special Issue of ATM LANs: Implementations and Experiences with an Emerging Technology early 1995.
  
  
• There is also information on the ATM Testbed and NERO setup and heavy-weights in the ATM industry.
  
  
• Also the ATM with PVM paper and ATM communication results and ATM pointers.
  
  
• A new paper on PVM ATM networks, "Faster (ATM) Message Passing in PVM" is also available.
  
  
• The BATMAN Boulder Co. US West ATM trial is described here.
  
  
• A paper on ATM Switch Architectures is also available.
  
  
• A MPEG background paper along with slides from three talks on multimedia/VOD testbeds and VOD at Berkeley and a software architecture for VOD and network protocols for VOD all came from s2k-ftp.CS.Berkeley.EDU pub/multimedia/papers.
  
  
• A description of the C* parallel language and compiler along with a comparison between message passing and data-parallel C* are here. The comparison article has a good introduction to the C* syntax.
  
  
• The FORE API including atm_accept , atm_bind , atm_client_aal4 , atm_client_null , atm_close , atm_connect , atm_error , atm_gethostbyname , atm_intro , atm_listen , atm_open , atm_pvc , atm_recv , atm_send , atm_server_aal4 , atm_server_null , atm_setbatchsize , atmio are here. We also have sample FORE client and server code.
  
  
• A description of the VINCE vendor indepentent network control entity is here.
