This book is intended to be accessible to undergraduate students with two
years of typical mathematics experience, most likely meaning calculus with a little
linear algebra and differential equations. Thus, specifically, there is no assumption
oLa background inabstr&;t algebra or number theory, nor of probability, nor of
linear...
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the next version of the protocol that is used for communications on
the Internet. IPv6 is a protocol that has been in existence for many years, but it has not yet replaced
IPv4. IPv4 has some limitations that were not anticipated when it was first created. Because IPv6 overcomes
many of these...
Written in a cookbook style, this book offers solutions using a recipe-based approach. Each recipe contains step-by-step instructions followed by an analysis of what was done in each task and other useful information. This Cookbook is targeted towards those with at least a basic understanding of the Flash Builder IDE and the Flex framework....
This is a book about connecting to the Internet as reliably as possible. This means
eliminating all single points of failure,including having just one Internet service provider
(ISP). By multihoming to two or more ISPs,you can remain connected when
either ISP (or your connection to them) experiences problems. However,there...
Cisco® Nexus switches and the new NX-OS operating system are rapidly becoming the new de facto standards for data center distribution/aggregation layer networking. NX-OS builds on Cisco IOS to provide advanced features that will be increasingly crucial to efficient data center operations. NX-OS and Cisco...
In the last decade, multi-agent systems have both become widely applied and also
increasingly complex. The applications include the use of agents as automous decision
makers in often safety-critical, dangerous, or high impact scenarios (traffic
control, autonomous satellites, computational markets). The complexity arises from
the fact...
I hate the term the cloud. I really do. In a surprisingly short period of time, I’ve seen the
term twisted out of shape and become a marketing buzzword and applied to every bit
of technology one can conjure up. I have no doubt that in a few years, the term the
cloud will be relegated to the same giant dustbin for bad technology...
This book is all about wrangling a herd of network computers so that all
display the correct time. This may seem like a really narrow business,
but the issues go far beyond winding the clock on your display taskbar.
Carefully coordinated, reliable, and accurate time is vital for traffic control
in the air and on the ground, buying and...

The most visible use of computers and software is processing information for human
consumption. We use them to write books (like this one), search for information
on the web, communicate via email, and keep track of financial data. The vast
majority of computers in use, however, are much less visible. They run the engine,
brakes,...
This book originates from the desire to perpetuate expertise in the field of
performance evaluation, particularly for telecommunication systems and
networks. It is obviously impossible to translate into a single work all the
facets of an activity which encompasses many systems and a great variety of
domains such as standardization,...
During recent years a great deal of progress has been made in performance modelling and evaluation of the Internet, towards the convergence of multi-service networks of diverging technologies, supported by internetworking and the evolution of diverse access and switching technologies. The 44 chapters presented in this handbook are revised...
