Explaining how to apply to mathematical programming to network design and control, Linear Programming and Algorithms for Communication Networks: A Practical Guide to Network Design, Control, and Management fills the gap between mathematical programming theory and its implementation in communication networks. From the basics all the way through to more advanced concepts, its comprehensive coverage provides readers with a solid foundation in mathematical programming for communication networks.

Addressing optimization problems for communication networks, including the...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) utilize fast, cheap, and effective applications to imitate the human intelligence capability of sensing on a wider distributed scale. But acquiring data from the deployment area of a WSN is not always easy and multiple issues arise, including the limited resources of sensor devices run with one-time batteries. Additional WSN concerns include the external environment, routing, data aggregation, and ensuring quality of service (QoS) and security. Solutions have been developed for various types of application scenarios, but many problems still remain...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 51st Annual Convention of the Computer Society of India, CSI 2016, held in Coimbatore, India, in December 2016.

The 23 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. The theme of CSI 2016, Digital Connectivity - Social Impact, has been selected to highlight the importance of technology in solving social problems and thereby creating a long term impact on society. The papers are organized in topical sections on information science; computational intelligence; network computing; IT for...

Harness the promise of the cloud with Fugue, an operating system built for the cloud. Program cloud infrastructure in a fraction of the time it takes with current tools, debug infrastructure at design time, and centralize your change control process. Written by the Fugue development team, this is the definitive resource to scalable cloud operations with Fugue.

Cloud computing represents the greatest shift in computing in more than a decade. But the promise of the cloud is unrealized. The cloud isn't just about shedding the physical data center - it's about shedding the data center...

This book discusses hierarchical topology control for wireless networks with an emphasis on theories and algorithms. It includes chapters on the basic concept consisting of architecture and applications on wireless ad hoc networks and wireless sensor networks, the basic concept of topology control, the clustering algorithm in topology control and the virtual backbone construction algorithms, focusing on connected dominating set construction, which includes various transformations for dominating sets. The final chapter gives two comprehensive simulation examples.

For a long time British emigration has suffered from a seeming invisibility in academia, public perception and policy making. This edited collection brings together leading scholars to explore cutting edge research on British migrants in an international range of settings. This book explores the diversities which exist within and between British migrants, and the importance of spatial context. By drawing together a range of research conducted with migrants from different backgrounds to different national contexts, this book reveals that the operation of social structural factors in...

Reissue of the 1988 Expanded Edition with a new foreword by Leon Bottou

In 1969, ten years after the discovery of the perceptron -- which showed that a machine could be taught to perform certain tasks using examples -- Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert published Perceptrons, their analysis of the computational capabilities of perceptrons for specific tasks. As Leon Bottou writes in his foreword to this edition, "Their rigorous work and brilliant technique does not make the perceptron look very good." Perhaps as a result, research turned away from the perceptron. Then the...

Delay- and Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are networks subject to arbitrarily long-lived disruptions in connectivity and therefore cannot guarantee end-to-end connectivity at all times. Consequently DTNs called for novel core networking protocols since most existing Internet protocols rely on the network's ability to maintain end-to-end communication between participating nodes. This book presents the fundamental principles that underline DTNs. It explains the state-of-the-art on DTNs, their architecture, protocols, and applications. It also explores DTN's future technological trends...
