FIP Working Group 6.3 on Performance of Communication Systems and IFIP Working Group 6.2 on Network and Internetwork Architectures 9th IFIP WORKING CONFERENCE ON PERFORMANCE MODELLING AND EVALUATION OF ATM & IP NETWORKS (IFIP ATM & IP 2001) Wednesday 27th - Friday 29th June, 2001 Budapest, Hungary Further information, technical program and registration: http://www.diamond-congress.hu/ifip/ Scope of the conference The performance evaluation of ATM and IP networks has been subject to a significant amount of research recently. The ever changing traffic mix in the Internet and the increasing demand for mobility represent new challenges for performance analysis. The primary focus of the Ninth IFIP Working Conference on ATM & IP Networks (IFIP ATM & IP 2001) is to contribute to fundamental research in ATM and IP technologies and in internetworking issues focusing on performance and reliability modelling and analysis. The Conference is built on the tradition of the earlier workshops (Bradford - Ilkley, Antwerp,) with increasing emphasis on issues related to IP and to the global Internet. We specially encouraged researchers to submit original papers in the field of Internet performance evaluation.
