Applications Support for Wireless ATM Networks'
Self-Study Course Now Available
Piscataway, NJ. 27 February 2001. Multimedia Applications Support
for
Wireless ATM Networks, an IEEE self-study course, is now available
from the
IEEE. Networks carrying multimedia, voice, data, and video traffic
define
the modern network architecture. Dr. Anna Hac developed this course
to
teach the design of high-speed wireless networks supporting multimedia
applications by focusing on real-world applications and traffic
patterns.
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
* Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia applications
The course includes a study guide, final examination (in both
paper and
online formats), and the text: Multimedia Applications Support
for Wireless
ATM Networks, by Dr. Hac, published by Prentice Hall. Upon successful
completion of the exam, students are eligible to receive eight
(8) IEEE
Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
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, USA. 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.
