ATM: a retrospective on systems legacy or "a technology with a fabulous future behind it?"

ABSTRACT

The following four papers were selected from submissions for a proposed workshop that was to have been held during the 2002 ACM SIGCOMM Conference. Due to time, we cancelled the event, but the papers capture some of the past, present and future lessons to be gleaned from the whole ATM experience, and we felt that these lessons should be provided with a forum.
