text S.l.] River Publishers 2009 monographic 492 p. ; Over the recent years, a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, towards the performance modelling, evaluation and prediction of convergent multi-service heterogeneous networks, such as wireless and optical networks, towards the design and dimensioning of the next and future generation Internets. This book follows Heterogeneous Networks: Traffic Engineering, Performance Evaluation Studies and Tools and presents recent advances in networks of diverse technology reflecting the state-of-the-art technology and research achievements in performance modelling, analysis and applications worldwide. Technical topics discussed in the book include: ���� Multiservice Switching Networks; ���� Wireless Ad Hoc Networks; ���� Wireless Sensor Networks; ���� Wireless Cellular Networks; ���� Optical Networks; Heterogeneous Networks: Performance Modelling and Analysis contains recently extended research papers, which have their roots in the series of the HET-NETs International Working Conferences focusing on the ‘Performance Modelling and Evaluation of Heterogeneous Networks’ under the auspices of the EU Networks of Excellence Euro-NGI and Euro-FGI. Heterogeneous Networks: Performance Modelling and Analysis is ideal for personnel in computer/communication industries as well as academic staff and master/research students in computer science, operational research, electrical engineering and telecommuni Wireless sensor networks Optical networks Wireless cellular networks 8792329187 (hardcover) 9788792329189 (hardcover) http://www.amazon.com/ http://www.amazon.com/
