Electronic services networks--systems of terminals and computers linked by telecommunication apparatus and used to process transactions--have had an increasing influence on industrial structures and commercial practices over the past decade. Margaret Guerin-Calvert and Steven Wildman have assembled diverse essays representing the best of current thinking on these networks. The book provides the reader with varied theoretical perspectives on ESNs and their effects on business and finance and contains five case studies that apply these theoretical ideas to issues raised by the proliferation...

Local Area Networks (LANs) have a high potential for alleviating many of the problems associated with stand-alone microcomputers. Networking microcomputers to share information, software and hardware, as well as facilite electronic mail is not only feasible and desirable, but also logical. Harry Kibirige's issue-oriented study explores microcomputer networking systems with particular emphasis on LANs. Although his analysis emphasizes issues from an information scientist's perspective, readers who want to gain an understanding of LAN technology and its applications should find it useful....

This book is designed to help telecommunications managers prepare themselves and their companies for the 1990s by providing a practical guide to researching, buying, and consulting on office telecommunications systems. The author covers voice communications technologies and products, local, metropolitan, and wide area networks for data transmission, and the various bypass technologies available today, including satellite, microwave, and fiber optic based systems. A detailed section on management aspects of telecommunications discusses the process of defining company telecommunications...

Electronic mail and message handling is a rapidly expanding field which incorporates both telecommunications and computer technologies. It combines the old technologies of telex, telegram, and analog facsimile with the new systems of Teletex, digital facsimile, and computer-based messaging. This book answers the questions What is electronic mail? and Why is it important? The major systems, services, technology, and standardization issues are comprehensively surveyed.

A Thorough Overview of the Next Generation in Computing

Poised to follow in the footsteps of the Internet, grid computing is on the verge of becoming more robust and accessible to the public in the near future. Focusing on this novel, yet already powerful, technology, Introduction to Grid Computing explores state-of-the-art grid projects, core grid technologies, and applications of the grid.

After comparing the grid with other distributed systems, the book covers two important aspects of a grid system: scheduling of jobs and resource...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International IFIP-TC6 Networking Conference, NETWORKING 2005, held in Waterloo, Canada in May 2005.

The 105 revised full papers and 36 posters were carefully reviewed and selected from 430 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on peer-to-peer networks, Internet protocols, wireless security, network security, wireless performance, network service support, network modeling and simulation, wireless LAN, optical networks, Internet performance and Web applications, ad-hoc networks, adaptive networks, radio...

Mission-Critical Microsoft Exchange 2000 is the definitive book on how to design and maintain extremely reliable and adaptive Exchange Server messaging systems that rarely crash and that preserve valuable data and services in spite of technical disruptions. E-mail systems are now a primary means of communication for organizations, which can afford e-mail down-time no more than they can afford to be without phones. Further, messaging systems increasingly are supporting vital applications in addition to e-mail, such as workflow and knowledge management, making the data they store both...
