Networks for Computer Scientists and Engineers is a data communications and networks textbook which covers both fundamental theory and new technologies. It is unique in that it is oriented towards, and combined with, software projects for a multi-platform distributed environment. A CD-ROM containing lab materials, the LINUX operating system, and program source codes for the software projects will accompany the text. An instructor's manual will also be available. The book, projects and labs together actively engage students in the learning process and provide opportunities for critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity in a controlled real-world environment. The text is targeted for junior and senior (3rd & 4th year) undergraduate students majoring in computer science and/or software engineering. Explains and illustrates fundamental theory using numerous figures, projects, basic mathematics, and language oriented toward the undergraduate student. Emphasizes new technologies, enhancing comprehension of theory and allowing students to grasp industry trends. Requires previous knowledge of data structures, programming languages, operating systems, and computer architecture.
