Multimedia services, audiovisual applications composed of a combination of discrete and continuous data streams, will be a major part of the traffic flowing in the next generation of high speed networks. The cornerstones for multimedia are Asynchronous Tra ...
In this paper, we propose an architecture for hybrid services, i.e., services that span many network technologies, especially the PSTN and the Internet. These services will play an important role in the future, because they leverage on the existing infrast ...
We present a multicast routing protocol called Distributed Core Multicast (DCM). It is intended for use within a large single Internet domain network with a very large number of multicast groups with a small number of receivers. Such a case occurs, for exa ...
We propose a new optical physical layer and protocol for optical Load Area Networks (LANs), which allow a large number of hosts to be connected while offering a large capacity and exhibiting a high degree of modularity and scalability. The physical layer o ...
Describes a methodology for specifying facial animation based on a multi-layered approach. Each successive layer defines entities from a more abstract point of view, starting with phonemes, and working up through words, sentences, expressions, and emotions ...
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is a high speed local area network operating at 100Mbps using a fiber optic ring transmission medium. The purpose of this paper is to build a Petri net model for the FDDI media access control (MAC) protocol. This mod ...

This paper presents a new physical layer demonstrator for Optical Local Area Network. It offers a large total capacity to a large number of connected nodes without requiring optical amplifiers and achieves high modularity and scalability. A new multichanne ...
Current charging mechanisms in the Internet are restricted mainly to volume and time of the day. We propose a mechanism which allows to use additional information for charging in the edges and core of the network. Links or network clouds will have weights ...
The authors discuss the results of a research project that developed an architectural framework for integrating non-IBM network architectures with the reference model and node structures of IBM's System Network Architecture (SNA). The unique features of th ...
