These limitations coupled with the flexibility and popularity of TCP/IP as a best-effort transport protocol have prompted the network research community to propose and implement a number of techniques that adapt TCP/IP to the Available Bit Rate (ABR) and Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) services in ATM network environments. This allows these environments to smoothly integrate (and make use of) currently available TCP-based applications and services without much (if any) modifications. However, recent studies have shown that TCP/IP, when implemented over ATM networks, is susceptible to serious performance limitations. In a recently completed study, we have unveiled a new transport protocol, TCP Boston, that turns ATM's 53-byte cell-oriented switching architecture into an advantage for TCP/IP. In this paper, we demonstrate the real-time features of TCP Boston that allow communication bandwidth to be traded off for timeliness. We start with an overview of the protocol. Next, we analytically characterize the dynamic redundancy control features of TCP Boston. Next, We present detailed simulation results that show the superiority of our protocol when compared to other adaptations of TCP/IP over ATMs. In particular, we show that TCP Boston improves TCP/IP's performance over ATMs for both network-centric metrics ({\em e.g.}, effective throughput and percent of missed deadlines) and real-time application-centric metrics (e.g., response time and jitter). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Message 3; Postmarked Thu Dec 19 15:24:58 1996 From: schwan@cc.gatech.edu (Karsten Schwan) Subject: Faculty Positions in Real-Time area Content-Length: 4770 The College of Computing at Georgia Tech is looking for strong candidates in the systems area. Last year, we had a very successful hiring season. We hired three new faculty members, in vision/user interfaces: Irfan Essa - MIT Media Labs, in graphics: Greg Turk - UNC, and as a new director of our GVU Center: Jarek Rossignac - IBM TJ Watson. This year's hiring promises to be equally exciting, with opportunities for applicants in most areas of CS, including the systems (operating systems, networking, compilers/languages, programming systems) and the intelligent systems (robotics, knowledge-based systems) areas. We expect to hire two new faculty members in these areas and in addition, hire two faculty members for 'designated slots' in educational technology and for the GVU center. Moreover, we expect to continue to grow in size due to new funding and upcoming efforts at Georgia Tech, in areas like biotechnology, information systems (jointly with the College of Management), and due to recent awards of funding for chaired positions: (1) the Imlay chair, funding targeted toward experimental systems applicants, at junior or at senior levels, and (2) the Storey chair, targeted at recruiting a senior leader in any area of computing. Our unit is a very attractive place for people in the broad systems area, in part due to the existing highly challenging interfaces to various application domains, including the area of Graphics, Visualization, and User Interfaces, in manufacturing and real-time/robotics systems, and in telecommunications/networking. In addition, with a recent award of an NSF Research Infrastructure grant to the systems group, we now have an exciting equipment infrastructure complementing the existing facilities in the GVU Center and in the College of Computing. This new facility consists of two clusters of networked SUN Solaris and SGI Irix machines, an SGI Powerchallenge, a videoserver, using ATM, Myrinet, 100MB switched Ethernet, and broadband network connections, with access to Solaris source code for kernel-level work being done on high performance network interfaces. In addition, we have just acquired a cluster of Pentium machines running Linux and Windows NT. Research projects using this equipment include large scale efforts (1) in the development of distributed object and shared memory technologies, for cluster and high performance machines (the COBS and Beehive projects), (2) in the creation of entire `Distributed Laboratories' in which scientists and engineers interact via complex computations and visualizations, (3) in the extension of such laboratories into the home, (4) in compiler and 'glue' technologies for such large-scale systems, (5) in high performance networking technologies addressing such applications across local, wide-area and broadband communication media (jointly with the telecommunications research group also part of our college), and (6) in adaptive systems and embedded applications and technologies for parallel and distributed computing platforms. A second reason Georgia Tech is a good place for systems faculty is our existing strength in the area, consisting of several tenured and associate level faculty: Mustaq Ahamad (distributed systems) Bill Appelbe (compilers, object-based systems, architecture) Ann Chervenak (video servers and storage technologies) Raja Das (compiler and 'glue' technologies, architecture) Richard Fujimoto (architecture, parallel systems, and discrete event simulation) Kishore Ramachandran (architecture and parallel systems) Karsten Schwan (parallel and real-time operating systems, programming envs.) Many other faculty also actively perform `build it' type of research; some of them are: Scott Hudson (collaboration systems, user interfaces) Jessica Hodges (graphics) Bill Ribarsky (visualization) John Stasko (program animation, user interfaces) Rich LeBlanc (compilers, software engineering) -- Associate Dean, CoC Leo Mark (databases) Due to our breadth, we are happy to consider people working in any of the following areas (or more): - distributed and/or parallel computing - real-time and/or multimedia systems - core operating systems and/or interfaces to other areas like compilers/runtime or computer architecture/telecommunications However, our emphasis is on people interested in building systems or experimenting with them, with a particular, current emphasis on object-based technologies.

Emphasis has therefore shifted in recent years to programming and run-time environments that support the construction of predictable real-time and multimedia systems. Application domains driving these run-time services include multimedia, feedback control, process control, discrete assembly, high availability, robotics, air traffic control, avionics, target tracking, real-time object recognition and vehicle navigation. Real-time extensions to POSIX, IEEE Futurebus+, the real-time support in Ada 95, and the Real-Time Special Interest Group within the OMG/CORBA standards body are but some of the examples of completed and ongoing standardization activities to provide commercial and uniform support for real-time systems. This special issue of the Real-Time Systems Journal is intended to capture the latest advances and experiences on building real-time kernels, operating systems, middleware services and tools for real-time applications. Submissions for possible publication in this special issue are encouraged to focus on actual designs and prototypes of OS support, system and middleware services. Design principles and lessons learned are of particular interest. Evaluations and benchmarking of appropriate metrics in such services are also sought. Some papers are expected to be invited from specific projects. Papers to be submitted for consideration of publication in this special issue must follow the normal submission guidelines of the Real-Time Systems Journal to be found at http://www.wkap.com. Submitted papers will also be reviewed according to journal guidelines. The deadline for submissions is May 30, 1997. The authors of accepted papers will be notified by August 30, 1997.
