The Conference aims at presenting and discussing the state-of-the-art and the evolution of broadband communications, both in the public and private networks. The papers selected for presentation in the Conference cover the key issues of switching, resource management, network control, communication services, testing, quality of service, traffic characterization, traffic control and protocols. Invited talks on the fields of multimedia communication and traffic control and a panel on ATM introducing are also included in the program. The program is the result of the work of the members of the scientific program committee, organizing committee and the referees. The conference is made possible by the sponsoring organizations IFIP and TELECOM Paris and the conference sponsor, the "Louis Leprince-Ringuet Foundation". Looking forward to meeting you at the Broadband Communications'94 in Paris.
