Smart Networks $289.95 Smart Networks comprises the proceedings of Smartnet2002, the seventh conference on Intelligence in Networks, which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and organized by Working Group 6.7. It was held in Saariselk, Finland, in April 2002. The conference series closely reflects the developments in networking. Currently we are facing two conflicting trends: the increasing popularity of the Internet and the growth of mobile communications. The traditional Internet approach is to regard a network as a dummy pipe of bits and place all the intelligence in the enddevices. The traditional telecom approach is to regard the enddevices as dummy senders or receivers of bits and to put all the intelligence in the network. For fixedline access to the Internet using a powerful PC, the Internet approach is plausible. However, for a nomadic user, who sometimes accesses services through a fixedline Internet connection and, at other times, through a wireless connection using a restrictedcapability access device, the situation becomes intolerable. Intelligence needs to be distributed and partially replicated in enduser devices, access networks, and the core network.The presentations in this volume consider these new trends and cover three major topics: platform software, services, and protocols. The sessions on platform software address various aspects of software infrastructure in networks including objectorientation, components, agents, and plugandplay. The session on services includes interactive TV, group communication, and location awareness. The session on protocols discusses bandwidth brokers, authentication, and protocol testing.

Wireless Sensor Networks Simulation $98.77 The emergence of wireless sensor networks brought many open issues to network designers. Traditionally, the three main techniques for analyzing the performance of wired and wireless networks are analytical methods, computer simulation, and physical measurement. However, because of many constraints imposed on sensor networks, such as energy limitation, decentralized collaboration and fault tolerance, algorithms for sensor networks tend to be quite complex and usually defy analytical methods that have been proved to be fairly effective for traditional networks. Furthermore, few sensor networks have come into existence, for there are still many unsolved research problems, so measurement is virtually impossible. It appears that simulation is the only feasible approach to the quantitative analysis of sensor networks.

Multistage Interconnection Networks $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Multistage interconnection networks (MINs) are a class of highspeed computer networks usually composed of processing elements (PEs) on one end of the network and memory elements (MEs) on the other end, connected together by switching elements (SEs). The switching elements themselves are usually connected to each other in stages, hence the name. Such networks include omega networks, delta networks and many other types. MINs are typically used in highperformance or parallel computing as a lowlatency interconnection (as opposed to traditional packet switching networks), though they could be implemented on top of a packet switching network. Though the network is typically used for routing purposes, it could also be used as a coprocessor to the actual processors for such uses as sorting; cyclic shifting, as in a perfect shuffle network; and bitonic sorting.

Retransmission (Data Networks) $100.37 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Retransmission is the resending of packets which have been either damaged or lost. It is a term that refers to one of the basic mechanisms used by protocols operating over a packet switched computer network to provide reliable communication (such as that provided by a reliable byte stream, for example TCP). Such networks are usually unreliable, meaning they offer no guarantees that they will not delay, damage, or lose packets, or deliver them out of order. Protocols which provide reliable communication over such networks use a combination of acknowledgments (i.e. an explicit receipt from the destination of the data), retransmission of missing and/or damaged packets (usually initiated by a timeout), and checksums to provide that reliability.

Neural Networks in Robotics $562.38 Neural Networks in Robotics is the first book to present an integrated view of both the application of artificial neural networks to robot control and the neuromuscular models from which robots were created. The behavior of biological systems provides both the inspiration and the challenge for robotics. The goal is to build robots which can emulate the ability of living organisms to integrate perceptual inputs smoothly with motor responses, even in the presence of novel stimuli and changes in the environment. The ability of living systems to learn and to adapt provides the standard against which robotic systems are judged. In order to emulate these abilities, a number of investigators have attempted to create robot controllers which are modelled on known processes in the brain and musculoskeletal system. Several of these models are described in this book. On the other hand, connectionist (artificial neural network) formulations are attractive for the computation of inverse kinematics and dynamics of robots, because they can be trained for this purpose without explicit programming. Some of the computational advantages and problems of this approach are also presented. For any serious student of robotics, Neural Networks in Robotics provides an indispensable reference to the work of major researchers in the field. Similarly, since robotics is an outstanding application area for artificial neural networks, Neural Networks in Robotics is equally important to workers in connectionism and to students for sensormonitor control in living systems.

Biologically Inspired Neural Networks $167.28 The remarkable computational power of the brain has motivated researchers to investigate computational systems which draw inspiration from the nervous system whose exact workings are still very much a mystery. Several neural models and encoding schemes were proposed and a number of learning rules were formulated. However, their applicability has been hampered by the lack of efficient training mechanisms. This work treats the idea of using bioinspired neuron and synapse models in developing computational systems that can be applied to solve real world problems. A review of traditional ANNs and the more biologically plausible ANNs, i.e. spiking neural networks or SNNs, is presented. Different aspects and variants of evolutionary algorithms are addressed. Alternative training approaches/architectures based on evolutionary strategies, dynamic synapses and neural oscillators are developed and their performance and scalability are evaluated. This work should help shed some light on the growing field of SNNs and their design and application challenges. This book should interest readers, students and researchers, in neural networks, intelligent systems, computer science and engineering.

Wireless Sensor Networks $97.19 Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) comprise a large number of sensor nodes, which are spread out within a region to be monitored and communicate using wireless links. In some WSN applications, recognizing boundary nodes is important for topology discovery, geographic routing, tracking and guiding. In this book, we study the problem of identifying the boundary nodes of a WSN. We develop a heuristic algorithm to find the boundary nodes which are connected in a boundary cycle of a locationfree, low density (average degree 34), randomly deployed WSN. Simulations in ns2 show that the distributed implementation outperforms the centralized one with higher quality of boundaries. This book should be especially useful to academics and professionals in Computer Science field, or anyone else who may be interested in the WSN area.

Optimisation of Massively Parallel Neural Networks $83.84 Book Description: Most current artificial neural networks exist only within software simulators running on conventional computers. Simulators can provide great flexibility, but require immensely powerful and costly hardware for even very small networks. An artificial neural network implemented as a custom integrated circuit could operate many thousands of times faster than any simulator as each neuron can operate simultaneously. A significant problem with implementing neural networks in hardware is that larger networks require a great deal of silicon area, making them too costly to design and produce. In this book, I test the effectiveness of a number of algorithms that reduce the size of a trained neural network while maintaining accuracy. Author Biography: Michael Oldroyd is a software development veteran who started progamming professionally back in 1992. He is now development manager at AES Data Systems.

Optical Packet Access Protocols for Wdm Networks $237.38 The breathtaking success of the WDM technology in backbone networks also pushes the development and implementation of optical packetswitched WDM local and metropolitan area networks. Local and metropolitan area optical WDM networks are emerging as viable and costeffective solutions for many telecommunication operators and service providers who have to face an extremely growing bandwidth demand and expensive additional fiber installation costs. Thus, the strong need for the development of novel highspeed architectures and protocols for such networks arises.In Optical Packet Access Protocols for WDM Networks, different basic and novel medium access control (MAC) protocols for WDMbased LANs/MANs, typically belonging to the group of singlehop networks, are proposed and analyzed. Thereby, solutions for the direct and efficient support of distinct QualityofService (QoS) classes over the WDM transmission layer are provided. Besides a comprehensive overview on the stateoftheart photonic metro networks, highly dynamic reservationbased access protocols relying on the passivestar and the ring topology are presented while assuming the deployment of wavelengthtunable transceivers at the network nodes.Optical Packet Access Protocols for WDM Networks provides both a comprehensive survey on existing WDM local and metro lightwave systems and the design of novel highly efficient medium access control protocols with QoS support for such systems. Accordingly, this work is appropriate for communication and network engineers from both the academic and industrial world working in the field of optical communication networks, computer science, and communication engineering.

Nexus: Small Worlds and the Groundbreaking Theory of Networks $11.59 As Chaos explained the science of disorder, Nexus reveals the new science of connection and the odd logic of six degrees of separation. "If you ever wanted to know how many links connect you and the Pope, or why when the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank sneezes the global economy catches cold, read this book," writes John L. Casti (Santa Fe Institute). This "cogent and engaging" ( Nature ) work presents the fundamental principles of the emerging field of "small-worlds" theory-the idea that a hidden pattern is the key to how networks interact and exchange information, whether that network is the information highway or the firing of neurons in the brain. Mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, and social scientists are working to decipher this complex organizational system, for it may yield a blueprint of dynamic interactions within our physical as well as social worlds. Highlighting groundbreaking research behind network theory, "Mark Buchanan’s graceful, lucid, nontechnical and entertaining prose" (Mark Granovetter) documents the mounting support among various disciplines for the small-worlds idea and demonstrates its practical applications to diverse problems-from the volatile global economy or the Human Genome Project to the spread of infectious disease or ecological damage. Nexus is an exciting introduction to the hidden geometry that weaves our lives so inextricably together.

Computer And Information Security Handbook $60.79 This book presents information on how to analyze risks to your networks and the steps needed to select and deploy the appropriate countermeasures to reduce your exposure to physical and network threats. It also imparts the skills and knowledge needed to identify and counter some fundamental security risks and requirements, inlcuding Internet security threats and measures (audit trails IP sniffing/spoofing etc.) and how to implement security policies and procedures. In addition, this book also covers security and network design with respect to particular vulnerabilities and threats. It also covers risk assessment and mitigation and auditing and testing of security systems. From this book, the reader will also learn about applying the standards and technologies required to build secure VPNs, configure client software and server operating systems, IPsec-enabled routers, firewalls and SSL clients. Chapter coverage includes identifying vulnerabilities and implementing appropriate countermeasures to prevent and mitigate threats to mission-critical processes. Techniques are explored for creating a business continuity plan (BCP) and the methodology for building an infrastructure that supports its effective implementation. A public key infrastructure (PKI) is an increasingly critical component for ensuring confidentiality, integrity and authentication in an enterprise. This comprehensive book will provide essential knowledge and skills needed to select, design and deploy a PKI to secure existing and future applications. This book will include discussion of vulnerability scanners to detect security weaknesses and prevention techniques, as well as allowing access to key services while maintaining systems security. Chapters contributed by leaders in the field cover theory and practice of computer security technology, allowing the reader to develop a new level of technical expertise. This book’s comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of security issues facilitates learning and allows the reader to remain current and fully informed from multiple viewpoints. Presents methods of analysis and problem-solving techniques, enhancing the readers grasp of the material and ability to implement practical solutions.

Principles Of Computer System Design: An Introduction $69.79 This text identifies examines and illustrates fundamental concepts in computer system design that are common across operating systems networks database systems distributed systems programming languages software engineering security fault tolerance and architecture. Through carefully analyzed case studies from each of these disciplines it demonstrates how to apply these concepts to tackle practical system design problems. To support the focus on design the text identifies and explains abstractions that have proven successful in practice such as remote procedure call client/service organization file systems data integrity consistency and authenticated messages. Most computer systems are built using a handful of such abstractions. The text describes how these abstractions are implemented demonstrates how they are used in different systems and prepares the reader to apply them in future designs. *Formulates and illustrates the main principles of computer system design.*Presents a cross-disciplinary approach drawing on examples from networking operating systems distributed systems architecture and other disciplines within computer science.*Explores principles and abstractions in-depth with numerous case studies including Unix (file systems); URL DNS (naming); NFS (client/service); virtual machines (virtualization); disk arms (scheduling); TLS (security).*Illustrates core concepts using numerous pseudocode examples throughout the text.*Supports on-line open educational resources that include several additional chapters and problem sets plus MIT Open CourseWare materials including lecture videos.
