This volume contains the papers presented at the International GI/ITG C- ference on "Measurement, Modelling and Evaluation of Computing Systems" and "Dependability and Fault Tolerance," held during March 15-17, 2010 in Essen, Germany, hosted by the University of Duisburg-Essen. The Technical Committees of MMBand DFT coverallaspects ofperformanceand dependab- ityevaluationofsystemsincludingnetworks,computerarchitectures,distributed systems, software, fault-tolerant and secure systems. In 2010, both committees joined forces in a common conference MMB & DFT 2010. This current conf- ence was the 15th in a series of biannual conferences, initially started in 1981, with previous editions in Aachen, Dresden, Nuremberg and Dortmund. MMB & DFT 2010 received 42 submissions (37 regular papers and 5 tool descriptions) by authors from 15 di?erent countries. Each regular paper was reviewed by at least three (and up to ?ve) Program Committee members and external reviewers; tool papers were reviewed by two reviewers. In total we - ceived 158 reviews and the ProgramCommittee decided to accept 19 full papers and 5 tool papers.TheprogramwascompletedbytwoinvitedtalksandwewerehappythatPhil Koopman from Carnegie Mellon University and Paul Kuhn .. from the University of Stuttgart accepted to give an invited talk at the conference.

Der Asynchrone Transfer-Modus (ATM) bildet als schnelle Paketvermittlungstechnik die Basis für das Breitband-ISDN. Viele moderne Telekommunikationsdienste mit Daten-, Bild- und Sprachübertragung werden dadurch erst ermöglicht. Die Autoren dieses Buches legen Wert darauf, die vielen technischen Aspekte von ATM gemäß Ihrer Relevanz für Entwickler und Entscheidungsträger darzustellen. Das Auflisten von Standards wird auf das Nötigste eingeschränkt, Firmenspezifika werden vermieden. Dafür richtet sich das Hauptaugenmerk auf grundsätzliche, langfristig gültige Aussagen zu Funktionen und Mechanismen.
