About this book:
Communication networks are a vital and crucial element of today's world.
Mobile devices, the Internet, and all new applications and services
provided by these media have changed dramatically the way both
individual lives and society as a whole are organized. All these
services depend on fast and reliable data connections, whether wired or
wireless. To meet such requirements, information and communication
technology is challenged again and again to provide faster protocols,
wireless interfaces with higher bandwidth capacity, innovative
mechanisms to handle failures, and so on.
Algorithmic discrete mathematics plays a key role in this ongoing
development, and methods that arise in computer science, mathematics and
operations research - in particular in algorithms, computational
complexity, distributed computing and optimization - are vital. This
book examines communication networking from a mathematical viewpoint.
The contributing authors took part in the European COST action 293 - a
four-year program of multidisciplinary research on this subject. In this
book they offer introductory overviews and state-of-the-art assessments
of current and future research in the fields of broadband, optical,
wireless and ad hoc networks. Particular topics of interest are design,
optimization, robustness and energy consumption.
The book will be of interest to graduate students, researchers and
practitioners in the areas of networking, theoretical computer science,
operations research, distributed computing and mathematics.
