Wireless Sensor Networks
Infrastructure for Homeland Security Environments Wireless Sensor Networks helps readers discover the emerging field of low-cost standards-based sensors that promise a high order of spatial and temporal resolution and accuracy in an ever-increasing universe of applications. It shares the latest advances in science and engineering paving the way towards a large plethora of new applications in such areas as infrastructure protection and security, healthcare, energy, food safety, RFID, ZigBee, and processing. Unlike other books on wireless sensor networks that focus on limited topics in the field, this book is a broad introduction that covers all the major technology, standards, and application...
Hazardous Seas
Tsunamis are infrequent but terrifying hazards for coastal communities. Difficult to predict, they materialize with little warning, claiming thousands of lives and causing billions of dollars in damage. Recent mega-tsunamis in Japan and Indonesia claimed close to 250,000 lives, triggering wide-scale economic and social disruption. Developing countries cannot afford costly underwater cable systems, and governments and relief organizations have been forced to rely on flawed warning systems such as deep-sea buoys. Now, a groundbreaking new approach to tsunami detection and warning, which relies on low-cost underwater sensors and networks of smartphone communication, has changed the equation. De...
Advances in Distributed Multimedia Systems
The last few years have seen an explosive growth in multimedia computing, communications and applications. This revolution is transforming the way people live, work, and interact with one another, and is impacting the way businesses, government services, education, entertainment, and health care are operating. It is safe to say that the multimedia revolution is underway. Yet, several issues related to modeling, specification, analysis and design of distributed multimedia systems and applications are still challenging both researchers and practitioners. This book addresses fundamental design issues and research topics, related to multimedia systems, and provides a comprehensive study of the i...
Ad-Hoc, Mobile, and Wireless Networks
Here are the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless, ADHOC-NOW 2006, held in Ottawa, Canada, August 2006. The book presents 25 revised full papers and 10 revised short papers together with abstracts of 2 invited talks, in sections on routing in sensor networks, Routing in MANET, short papers on routing, security, wireless MAC, short papers on security, QoS and TCP, and upper layer issues.
Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks, MSN 2005, held in Wuhan, China in December 2005. The volume also contains 12 papers of the MSN workshop on Modeling and the Security in the Next Generation Mobile Information Systems (MSNG 2005). The 112 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 512 submissions. The papers address all current topical areas in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks such as network architecture and protocols, software platforms and development tools, self-organization and synchronization, routing and data dissemination, failure resilience and fault isolation, energy management, data, information, and signal processing, security and privacy, network planning, provisioning, and deployment, network modeling and performance evaluation, developments and applications, as well as integration with other systems.
Wireless Algorithms, Systems, and Applications
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First Annual International Conference on Wireless Algorithms, Systems, and Applications, WASA 2006, held in Xi'an, China in August 2006. The book presents 63 revised full papers together with 2 invited keynote speech abstracts, organized in topical sections on wireless PAN and wireless LAN, wireless MAN and pervasive computing, data management, mobility, localization and topology control, performance modeling and analysis, security and more.
High Performance Networking
High Performance Networking is a state-of-the-art book that deals with issues relating to the fast-paced evolution of public, corporate and residential networks. It focuses on the practical and experimental aspects of high performance networks and introduces novel approaches and concepts aimed at improving the performance, usability, interoperability and scalability of such systems. Among others, the topics covered include: Java applets and applications; distributed virtual environments; new internet streaming protocols; web telecollaboration tools; Internet, Intranet; real-time services like multimedia; quality of service; mobility. High Performance Networking comprises the proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on High Performance Networking, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), and was held at Vienna Univrsity of Technology, Vienna, Austria, in September 1998. High Performance Networking is suitable as a secondary text for a graduate level course on high performance networking, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.
Workshop on New Visions for Large-Scale Networks
Documents the findings of a workshop held in 2001 to develop a vision for the future of networking (10-20 years out) and to identify needed Fed. networking research to enable that vision. The Workshop was attended by more than 160 leading networking researchers from universities, industry, gov¿t., and laboratories. The participants concluded that industry is not prepared to do the long-term research needed to enable the workshop visions for future networking. Industry is oriented toward near-term development and is currently scaling back the corporate ability to provide networking research. This places increased responsibility on Fed. agencies to fund and conduct the research needed to support the continuing growth of the Internet.
Convergence Through All-IP Networks
The convergence of two powerful technologies—wireless and the Internet—through IPv4/v6 protocol has led to emergence of next-generation networks (NGNs). NGN is no more a network of mere computers but a connected conglomeration of varied networks with diverse physical properties, with a plethora of network elements, along with a variety of real-time multimedia applications. This book covers the entire gamut of technology challenges from physical layer to application layer including security from both academic and industrial perspectives.
