Issues of personnel development in air traffic control (ATC) have become a major topic in aviation recruitment and training. Proper selection and training methods are needed in order to reach a high level of efficiency and reliability in ATC. Pilots were considered the most prominent group in aviation for a long time, but with the development of flight guidance technologies came a second operational occupation in aviation: the air traffic controller (ATCO). This volume provides a state-of-the-art overview of controller selection from an impressive collection of international specialists in research and practice. It will prove a valuable and key insight into the demands of air traffic controller selection through its comprehensive and enlightening examination of the current practice in the USA and Europe for the job-analysis requirements of future air traffic management (ATM) systems.

Provides a comprehensive, detailed description of thefundamental architectural principles and protocols used inATM-based networks, as well as interworking with IP and Frame Relaybased networks Begins with general coverage of ATM, but moves quickly into themost important new area of ATM--IP switching, which allowscommunications companies to combine IP routing with ATMswitching Offers the reader a clear understanding of the evolutionarytrends in the development of ATM A Wiley-IEEE Press publication
Sourcebook of ATM and IP Internetworking provides a comprehensive, detailed description of the fundamental architectural principles and protocols used in ATM-based networks, as well as interworking with IP- and Frame Relay-based networks.
The bestselling first edition of this title sold more than 20,000 copies. The new Signature Edition is updated and expanded to provide the latest information on ATM in the enterprise and its application on the Internet, LANs and WANs, and in multimedia services and real-time support.
It is with great pleasure that I respond to the kind invitation of the BAF project to contribute prefatory remarks to this account of their work, carried out under the auspices of the RACE Programme (Research and Development in Advanced Communications in Europe). The objective of the RACE Programme was to support the intro duction of Integrated Broadband Communications in the European Union. An important part of this overall objective was served by the BAF project, which has aimed to produce a cost-effective access facility for broadband networks, especially for residential and small business customers. As this book relates, in order to do so the project consortium merged two advanced communications technologies, ATM and PON, with contributions from many other disciplines, to create a demon strator which has been subject to extensive trials and testing which have been fruitful both in contributions to international standards and in development work to improve further future generations of the system. This book forms an important reference source through the experience gained in this unique experiment in advanced telecommunications. Another significant feature of the project should not be overlooked however. When the European Commission first began looking at supporting industrial research in Europe in the mid-1980s, it was clear that we had important strengths in telecommunications. It was equally clear that a revolution was on the way - the digital revolution - and European pre-eminence in the field was not guaranteed for ever.

Multi-media networks based on ATM LAN technology can provide integrated transmission of voice, data and visual information direct to the workstation. Such networks are of strategic importance to organisations which depend upon electronic transactions. The smooth operation of these networks is therefore of critical importance. The aim of this special theme is to investigate the state of corporate networks and provide a view of how emerging new technology will improve communications efficiency.

Studies product innovation and firm survival in the U.S. ATM-debit card industry. The industry started with a few shared ATM networks in the early 1970s; the number of networks grew rapidly until the mid 1980s and then declined sharply. A theoretical model is constructed to explain the industry shakeout, A major product innovation -- introducing the point of sale debit function in the mid-1980s -- played an important role in driving the network consolidation. The predictions are tested and confirmed using a novel dataset on network entry, exit, size, location, ownership and product choices. There was little advantage of being early industry entrants; rather, large networks had a better chance to adopt the product innovation and survive the shakeout. Illus.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a protocol that allows data, sound and video being transferred between independent networks via ISDN links to be supplied to, and interpreted by, the various system protocols. ATM and Internet Protocol explains the working of the ATM and B-ISDN network for readers with a basic understanding of telecommunications. It provides a handy reference to everyone working with ATM who may not require the full standards in detail, but need a comprehensive guide to ATM. A substantial section is devoted to the problems of running IP over ATM and there is some discussion of Frame Relay. A pragmatic introduction to the ATM and IP standards The latest practical approaches to running IP over ATM A comprehensive telecommunications glossary
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the high-speed networking technology that promises to speed up bogged down networks with mixed LAN and WAN environments. This book offers a "how to" approach to ATM implementation from the perspective of network specialists responsible for the design, deployment, and day-to-day operation of the ATM-based network. Covers fault management, performance management, configuration management, accounting management, security management, LAN emulation and virtual LANs. For corporate network planners and managers interested in bringing ATM to the organization.
