Massively Parallel, Optical Fiber to Chip Interconnect and Low Loss Splitter for High Speed DWDM

Not Available We propose to create a design for an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Network module for the commercially available analysis tool, Satellite Tool Kit (STK) made by Analytical Graphics, Inc. This module will facilitate an architecture analysis of mobile, and therefore wireless, ATM networks (including space-based networks). Models will be based on currently available ATM Forum and ITU algorithms and specifications (such as Quality of Service [QoS] parameters) to the extent that they do not require actual modeling of individual packets or cells. The design will primarily use statistical and analytical models for the network data. The proposed effort will include a software description and design for 2D/3D visualization, graphs, plots, Call Admission Control algorithms, resource allocation algorithms, routing algorithms, and user interface screens using STK's Programmer's Library. The software will initially be designed for a PC, but could be ported to UNIX workstations by creating Motif user interface screens at a later time. The Phase I effort is only to design the module. The Phase II effort, if we are invited and win, will actually generate and test the softwsro for tho ATM Network module for STK.
