Based on these lectures a final exam (1 cu) is arranged for students wanting to have formal credit. Participants are asked to notify of their participation the course assistant, Mr. Matti Luukkainen.
Date Monday, August 11th - Friday, August 22nd, 1997 Place
Department of Computer Science,
Teollisuuskatu 23 room A414Time 10 - 12 (20 lecture hours)
The lecture gives an introduction in the basics of high performance communication. After discussing the notion and objectives of this development, we introduce a videoconferencing system as a reference example for discussing the different aspects of high performance communication. First, we consider the communication procedures: FDDI,DQDB,SMDS and Frame Relay. A broad space is devoted for an overview about ATM. We also mention other approaches as Fast Ethernet,Switched Ethernet etc. Next we outline the requirements to communication protocols, especially to network and transport protocols. We describe new protocol developments for routing, resource reservation and multicasting, and end-to-end communication. Examples of concrete protocols, e.g. RSVP,ST-II,XTP,TP++ and others, are given. Further, we address issues of the implementation of high performance protocols. Finally, we discuss the requirements of multimedia to high-performance communication as data compression and synchronisation.
Prof.Dr. H. Koenig completed his diploma in physics at the Technical University of Dresden in 1972. He received his Dr.-Ing. and Dr.-Ing.habil. in computer science from the same university in 1979 and 1987, respectively. In 1988, he joined the Department of Computer Science at the Otto-von-Guericke" University of Magdeburg where he was an accociate professor. Since 1993 he has been a full professor at the Department of Computer Science of the Brandenburg University of Technology at Cottbus. His research interests include communication protocols, protocol engineering, high-performance communication and distributed systems. Prof. Dr. Koenig was guest professor at the University of Montreal, at La Trobe University Melbourne and at INT Evry. He is cochair of the IFIP TC 6.1 working conference DAIS'97 (Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems) at Cottbus in October 1997. Prof. Koenig is member of IEEE.
