Digital & Wireless Communications Multihomed Communication with SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) Edited by

Victor C.M. Leung, Eduardo Parente Ribeiro, and Alan Wagner Multihomed communication is clearly a trend of next generation networks, which will be heterogeneous in nature. There is no known book covering this topic exclusively. This is probably because a good framework for its implementation has only recently been established by SCTP. There are very few books about SCTP in general and no known book exploring multihomed communication with SCTP. A book in this topic should help many researchers and programmers to learn about multihomed communications in general, and to take full advantage of multihomed communications with SCTP specifically.

Optimal Resource Allocation for Distributed Video and Multimedia Communications

New!

Yifeng He, Ling Guan, Wenwu Zhu

Principles of Electromagnetic Waves and Materials is a condensed version of the author’s previously published textbook, Electromagnetic Waves, Materials, and Computation with MATLAB®. This book focuses on lower-level courses, primarily senior undergraduate and graduate students in electromagnetic waves and materials courses. It takes an integrative approach to the subject of electromagnetics by supplementing quintessential "old-school" information and methods with the appropriate amount of material on plasmas for exposing the students to the broad area of plasmonics and by striking a balance between theoretical and practical aspects. Ancillary materials are available upon qualifying course adoption.

Focusing on resource optimization for distributed video and multimedia communications, this book examines four applications in optimal resource allocations with distributed algorithms, including problem formulation, theoretical analysis, and simulation results. Suitable for both industry practitioners and academics, it introduces the characteristics, recent advances, and current challenges in distributed systems as well as a solutions framework to tackle those challenges. Discussing cutting-edge topics such as the theory of convex optimization and the development of a distributed algorithm using dual decomposition, the book concludes with open issues to stimulate further learning.

Contracts for Engineers Intellectual Property, Standards, and Ethics Robert D. Hunter Robert D. Hunter Associates, Austin, Texas, USA

Engineers encounter various forms of contracts at nearly every turn in their careers. This book enhances their ability to communicate contractual issues to lawyers and then better understand the consequent legal advice they receive. The text introduces the related subjects of intellectual property (including patents, copyright, trademarks, and trade secrets) and standards (including conformity assessment and accreditation). The author also addresses the role of ethics—at both the micro and macro levels—which recently has been emphasized in response to the collapse of Boston’s Big Dig, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and the coal mine accident that resulted in many deaths.

What do world-renowned experts have to say about this book?

“This book represents one of the most comprehensive overviews of computer security I have seen recently. The reader can quickly identify and learn about various cyber attacks and become familiar with terminology of attacks, authentication, and protocols … The coupling of networking protocols and networks with their corresponding cybersecurity issues is a very good idea.”

“This book combines good technical details with higherlevel insights designed to help the reader focus on the right things and understand them sufficiently. … an up-to-date and well-written book on an exciting area of computing that forms the foundation for our modern, connected lives.”

—Milos Manic, University of Idaho

—Huijun Gao, Harbin Institute of Technology

—Tim Watson, De Montfort University

“… a full and comprehensive view of the state of the art on computer networks and cybersecurity issues and could serve as a sort of handbook for this area by providing clear and detailed explanations of the related various topics.”
