'''Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture'''<ref>PICMG. "Reference". PICMG 3.0 Revision 2.0 AdvancedTCA Base Specification. http://www.picmg.org</ref> ('''ATCA''' or '''AdvancedTCA''') is the largest specification effort in the history of the [[PICMG|PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group]] (PICMG)]], with more than 100 companies participating. Known as AdvancedTCA, the official specification designation PICMG 3.''x'' (see below) was ratified by the PICMG organization in December 2002.<ref>Pavlat, Joe. "AdvancedTCA turns 10". CompactPCI and AdvancedTCA Systems Vol. 15, Issue 5.
