“…ATM technology has several main categories of issues that are related to network management, traffic and congestion control and shaping, admission control, QoS management, wireless ATM systems, ATM switching schemes, modeling and simulation schemes and packages, among others [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is one of the major enabling technologies of high-speed networking. It is the first technology that allows a corporation to use a common enterprise protocol and infrastructure for voice, data, and video communications. ATM excels when applications require specific quality of service (QoS) and reserved bandwidth. It offers economies of scale in network infrastructure by integrating different traffic types. ATM offers a tighter coupling between the user application and network protocol. It places intelligence into the Wide Area Network (WAN), making the network smarter and allowing the network to become more like a computer and less like a dump transport medium. ATM is the ideal technology when it is desirable for applications with different performance, QoS, and business requirements to be performed on the same computer multiplexer, router, switch, and/or network. It enables network managers to flexibly adapt to changing enterprise communications requirements, evolving business environment, and fluctuating traffic volumes and patterns. This special issue of SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International aims at reporting on the state-of-the-art on research results in performance modeling and simulation of ATM systems and networks. The papers accepted in this special issue represent recent efforts by leading scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and government worldwide.

“…Unlike the Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) approach where traffic is assigned to fixed slots, ATM cells' transmission is not associated with a master clock, and hence it is "asynchronous." This doesn't mean that it is an asynchronous transmission procedure; on the contrary, ATM supports synchronous traffic like voice and video [6].…”

“…Similar to packet switching networks (e.g., X.25), ATM transfers data as discrete chunks of fixed lengths called cells. Also, it is similar to packet switching in that it has the capability of multiplexing multiple logical connections into one physical link [6]. Frame Relay used to be described as an "X.25 on a diet," because it eliminated the overhead of the network layer presented in X.25 and reduced the complexity of the data link layer, taking advantage of the more reliable digital transmission technology over highquality transmission links.…”
