Petri nets offer a mathematically defined technique for the specification, design, analysis, verification and performance evaluation of concurrent distributed systems. They offer not only precise semantics and a theoretical foundation, but also a graphical form that facilitates the understanding of both information and control flow within the same formalism. As an intuitively appealing graphical form of presentation, Petri nets are the model of ...

Providing performance guarantees is one of the most important issues for future telecommunication networks. This book describes theoretical developments in performance guarantees for telecommunication networks from the last decade. Written for the benefit of graduate students and scientists interested in telecommunications-network performance this book consists of two parts. The first introduces the recently-developed filtering theory for ...

Das erste umfassende Werk zu MCM und DSL! Die Multicarrier-Modulation (MCM) ist eine hochmoderne, effiziente Technologie für stark verzerrende und störanfällige Medien wie zum Beispiel DSL (Digital Subscriber Loop), das wahrscheinlich zukunftsträchtigste Medium für den Hochgeschwindigkeitszugang zum Internet und für Inter-LAN-Verbindungen. Dieses Buch beschreibt die MCM und diskutiert die Entwicklung von DSL sowie ...

This book provides a thorough development of the powerful methods of heavy traffic analysis and approximations with applications to a wide variety of stochastic (e.g. queueing and communication) networks, for both controlled and uncontrolled systems.The approximating models are reflected stochastic differential equations. The analytical and numerical methods yield considerable simplifications and insights and good approximations to both path ...

Im Informationszeitalter beschäftigen immer mehr Unternehmen Arbeitskräfte, die ausschließlich auf elektronischem Wege kommunizieren. Die Autorinnen und Autoren erörtern, ob die Verdrängung persönlicher Arbeitsbeziehungen durch virtuelle Netzwerke zu einer effektiveren Organisation führt oder ob sie eher eine Ursache für mehr Missverständnisse und wachsende Vertrauensverluste darstellt. Aus ...

Legitimate Peer to Peer Network Applications examines the different legitimate applications used over a peer to peer network (p2p). It analyzes the design and development of novel applications designed to leverage the distributed nature of peer to peer environments. The book goes beyond the most popular application of file-sharing (including sharing of video and audio files) and discuss the many different applications, including: Distributed ...

Designing and Developing Scalable IP Networks demonstrates how to build a scalable network, what pitfalls to avoid, and what mechanisms are the most successful in real life for engineers building and operating IP networks. Focusing on how to develop existing networks rather than building from scratch, the book is based on the author's many years experience in designing and developing real scalable systems for both service providers and enterprise ...

:Dieses Lehr- und Übungsbuch behandelt kurz und prägnant die Grundlagen der Digitalsignal-Übertragung im Basisband. Es stellt die grundlegenden Begriffe der Informationstheorie, Quellen-, Kanal- und Leitungscodierung anschaulich und verständlich dar. Dabei werden nur Themen von grundsätzlicher Bedeutung behandelt, die elementare Kenntnisse der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung voraussetzen. Kontrollfragen und ...
