Integrated Broadband Communications group

This research group belongs to the Computer Architecture Department. Most of the topics covered by this research group are strongly related with B-ISDN/ATM networks and broadband services and applications: ATM switching, communication protocols, source traffic modeling, network resource management policies and bandwidth allocation, traffic and congestion control on ATM networks, routing strategies for ATM networks, ATM local area networks, internetworking through ATM, network management, multicast over ATM, quality of service management, transport protocols over ATM and parallel distributed computing over ATM.

Main researchers: Jordi Domingo-Pascual and Josep Solé-Pareta.
