Abstract
This paper introduces QOA and follows with describing its function. It then details the differences between ATM and MPLS, the values of MPLS QOS and ATM QOS, traffic engineering, congestion problems and levels of hierarchy. The conclusion compares two solutions for QOS: an ATM switch and an IP router and touts ATM as the preferred solution. The paper finishes by holding that MPLS QOS could replace ATM QOS, but that is not likely to happen in the near future.
From the Paper
"Simply put, multi-label switching (MPLS) brings the traffic engineering capabilities of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) to packet-based network by tagging IP packets with "labels" that specify a route and priority (Flannaghan, 2001). MPLS unites the scalability and flexibility of routing with the performance and traffic management of layer 2 switching. MPLS can run over nearly any transport medium, including ATM and Ethernet, rather than being tied to a specific layer-2 encapsulation. Because it uses Internet protocol (IP) for addressing, it uses common routing and signaling protocols.
MPLS was not designed to replace ATM but rather to compliment it. MPLS eases complexity by mapping IP addressing and routing information directly into ATM switching tables. The MPLS label-swapping paradigm employs the same mechanism that ATM switches use to forward ATM cells. In the case of ATM-LSR, the ATM forwarding component performs the label swapping function. Label information is carried in the ATM Header.
MPLS has the ability to run over routers in addition to ATM switches, while providing the control component for IP on both the ATM switches and routers. For ATM switches PNNI, ATM ARP Server, and NHRP Server are replaced with MPLS for IP services yet the ATM control plane remains preserved (Zheng, 2001). PNNI is still used on ATM switches to provide ATM services. Therefore, an IP+ATM switch delivers both ATM for fast switching and IP protocols for IP services in a single switch.
In the past, at a specific performance level, the price of a router was usually higher than the equivalent ATM switch. With IP+ATM LSRs, the forwarding performance is determined by the capabilities of the ATM switches, whereas the functionality is comparable to a router. Moreover, IP+ATM switches may also have similar price and performance characteristics to ATM switches."

"Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a digital technique for high speed switching. The unit of multiplexing and switching is a cell which comprises a short fixed length information packet with a fixed length header to carry signalling information. By offering access at the cell level, information from many sources with widely differing activity patterns and transmission rates can be interleaved on a single transmission link or switched through an ATM node. As in other packet switching environments capacity is used only when it is needed."

Abstract
This paper examines how the American Disability Act (ADA) was created for the benefit of millions of Americans with disabilities, such as blindness and paralysis, and how it provides rules and guidelines that take care of and protect those who suffer from disabilities from access to social environment. It shows how one of the guidelines in ADA is to remove and eliminate problems encountered in ATM access by the disabled persons and how, in 1992, ADA guidelines were implemented for ATMs in a law that resolves the concerns of Americans with disabilities. It analyzes the effect of these guidelines on ATMs, as well as bank issues, and the proposed ATM technological changes.
From the Paper
"The proposal of the Access Board to allow speech capabilities on ATMs presents a number of issues to manufacturers of the machines and to the banks. First, the cost of implementing the proposed changes on existing machines is expensive, granting that each bank maintains a large number of ATMs. Second, ATMs has lifespan. Instead of upgrading ATMs whose lifespan is near to expire, after the effect of the revised ADA, replacement of expiring machines is a more practical option. Such will cause burden on the banks. Third, enhancement of existing machines presents difficulty to manufacturers. The flexibility of the proposed changes of supporting speech capabilities to facilitate ATM access for the visually impaired will require time, effort, and new materials to modify the machines."

Abstract
This paper describes the Asynchronous Transfer Mode layers, which include the ATM Layer, AAL Convergence sub-layer, ATM Adaptation Layer or AAL, the AAL Model Segmentation and Reassembly sub-layer and the Higher Layer Protocols for control, management and application. The author points out that the ATM technology is a very detail oriented and maybe the most complex technology ever created in the current technologically driven society. The paper relates that the network-to network cell is used to define the interface between nodes throughout a network's switches or between two or more unique networks.
From the Paper
"As noted, the ATM Cell utilizes a 5-byte header for the UNI and NNI cell formats. Although the fields of these formats are similar, there is an exception for the UNI cell format which includes a 4-bit generic flow control or GFC to assist in the overall flow control for the UNI level. The exception is based on the fact that the NNI level flow control is inadvertently created through longer VPI's which permits for more virtual paths, 12 bits vs. 8 bits for UNI. Other fields for the header are the VCI which consists of 16 bits, the payload type which consists of 3 bits, the cell loss priority which is 1 bit and the header error correction of 8 bits."

Abstract
The development of cards which can access different monetary services electronically has been the major boost to electronic commerce. Many computer users today are accessing commercial enterprises on the Internet, but millions more have indulged in a different form of electronic commerce simply by using their ATM card, debit card, or credit card in the course of daily business. The dissemination of such cards has been part of a long-term and evolving marketing strategy on the part of banks and other financial institutions to change the way people do business both with their banks and with retailers of various sorts.

"Introduction
For many years, science fiction writers and futurists have predicted the end of the cash-based society. Advances in the technology which supports financial transactions has already greatly reduced the amount of cash necessary for many everyday events, and most individuals conduct at least some cashless transactions on a regular basis. The move toward a cashless society has occurred over centuries, but the technology of the twentieth century has propelled it faster than ever before. Yet despite the rapid technological advances of recent years, a cashless society remains well in the future. This research examines the factors which have moved society away from an entirely cash-based system as well as those factors which prevent society from being entirely cashless today."

From the Paper
"The automated teller machine (ATM) has become an integral part of banking throughout the world. Originally perceived as "cash machines" which would dispense cash to depositors, today's ATMs can accept deposits, sell postage stamps, print statements, and be used at institutions where the depositor does not have an account. Due to recent legislation, in fact, it is no longer necessary for ATMs to be affiliated with any financial institution, and many are now privately owned. This research examines the history of the ATM, considers the reasons behind its widespread use, and evaluates the future of the ATM and related banking services."

"Introduction
The broadband network concept came from the fact that a wide range of voice, data and video service can be simultaneously carried on the same optical system. Broadband is the provision of subscriber access targeting business and residential customers. It is regarded as an all purpose network that will provide integrated access and support a wide variety of applications in a flexible and cost-effective manner. Because of the impact that broadband has, and will continue to have, on the computing environment, the various modes which support the technology are important. This research focuses on one of these modes, asynchronous transfer, and considers its current position relative to other broadband networks, such as frame relay and SMDS. The future of ATM is also considered.

Abstract
This paper explains that prototyping is the process by which physical mock-ups or models are made up, based on the proposed designs now using three dimensional computer models, referred to as "Rapid Prototyping". The author points out that one of the most complex problems being faced by the businesses of today, including the banking industry, is the re-designing and the integration of the existing business processes; in the context of this "change management", prototyping not only saves costs but also demonstrates the viability of the design being created and developed. The paper relates that the system of 'rapid prototyping' is very important in today's fast paced, computer-literate, internet environment in which the banking industry competes through websites, ATMs and even soon mobile phones.

"One of the most useful methodologies that these businesses are finding extremely useful and practical is the method of re-designing a business process design named 'Business Process Re-engineering Methodology' that explains in great detail how the existing design can be changed and re-modeled to suit the newer business processes and therefore the newer requirements. This new design is referred to as the 'Product Based Development Design', and the innate strength of this method lies in the fact that the method of 'prototyping' is used extensively throughout the procedures described. Prototyping is mooted as the method by which the end-user can use his inputs for the purpose of authenticating and validating the process designs described. It is a fact that all over the world, all the various businesses are being either fine-tuned or re-designed or re-engineered or value added or right sized or re-aligned, in the name of Business Process Re-engineering or what is also known as 'BPR' to dramatically improve the existing business."

Abstract
For many, automated teller machines (ATMs) are simply a way of life. There were introduced nearly 20 years ago and today, many bank customers never go into a branch after opening their account. But today's ATM cards can also be used to make purchases at retail outlets and even on the World Wide Web, another innovation which was not envisioned 20 years ago. The videophone has become video conferencing, and cameras which use film may be made obsolete by cameras which use a floppy disk for recording images. Electronic pagers, once the purview of doctors and others who needed to be notified in case of emergencies, have now become commonplace and are used to summon diners to their table.

Abstract
This paper discusses web traffic patterns and how the existing internet infrastructure is inadequate for the sheer amount of data and file types now moving across the web and over the Internet. It looks at how new and emerging technologies such as wireless use of the Internet to transfer media files and voice over internet protocols (VoIP) are consuming ever more bandwidth and how this affects the overall quality of service (QoS) of many of the most basic aspects of Internet usage.

From the Paper
"Quality of service or QoS allows networks to provide higher levels of service in terms of quality and efficiency by improving data flows across the network. Some of the traditional strategies to improve QoS have been to merely increase the priority levels of some data over that of others (Voice, 2005). This only works so far before it results traffic degradation system wide as all traffic becomes prioritized in order to compensate. While many companies and service providers traditionally just increased bandwidth in order to correct for QoS issues, this too is just a short-term solution to the exponentially increasing internet traffic that is resulting from the mass movement of multi-media files and data streams across the internet (IP, 2003)."
