Local Area Network Handbook, Sixth Editionby John P. Slone Available from Amazon $139.95 On 7-21-2006
See Item's Page Book Description Today's enterprise cannot effectively function without a network, and today's enterprise network is almost always based on LAN technology. In a few short years, LANs have become an essential element of today's business environment. This time in the spotlight, while well deserved, has not come without a price. Businesses now insist that LANs deliver vast and ever-increasing quantities of business-critical information and that they do it efficiently, flawlessly, without fail, and most of all, securely. Today's network managers must consistently deliver this level of performance, and must do so while keeping up with ever changing, ever increasing demands without missing a beat. At the same time, today's IT managers must deliver business-critical information systems in an environment that has undergone radical paradigm shifts in such widely varied fields as computer architecture, operating systems, application development, and security. The Local Area Networks Handbook focuses on this collective environment, in which networking and information technology work together to create LAN-based enterprise networks. topics have been selected and organized with this in mind, providing both depth and breadth of coverage. The handbook will provide you not only an understanding of how LANs work and how to go about selecting and implementing LAN products, but also of how to leverage LAN capabilities for the benefit of your enterprise. |
Local Area Networksby Behrouz A Forouzan Available from Amazon $124.69 On 7-21-2006
See Item's Page Book Description Local Area Networks (LANs) have become an integral part of communication in today's world. LAN applications are used in businesses, educational facilities, hospitals, stock exchanges, and warehouses to name a few. Forouzan's Local Area Networks offers reader-friendly, comprehensive coverage of LAN technologies, which prepares students the reader to use these technologies in real-world applications. Local Area Networks is ideal for students both in the classroom and later as a reference. Forouzan motivates topics by practical applications, and his liberal use of figures makes difficult technical topics easier to grasp by providing an intuitive, visual representation of concepts. Extensive practice sets are also provided at the end of each chapter, which reinforce what the student has learned. Forouzan's Local Area Networks is also up-to-date. It presents in-depth material on such current topics as Gigabit Ethernet, ATM LAN, Wireless LAN, VPN, and VLAN.

Queueing Networks with Discrete Time Scale: Explicit Expressions for the Steady State Behavior of Discrete Time Stochastic Networks (Lecture...by Hans Daduna Available from Amazon $47.95 On 7-21-2006
See Item's Page Book Description Building on classical queueing theory mainly dealing with single node queueing systems, networks of queues, or stochastic networks has been a field of intensive research over the last three decades. Whereas the first breakthrough in queueing network theory was initiated by problems and work in operations research, the second breakthrough, as well as subsequent major work in the area, was closely related to computer science, particularly to performance analysis of complex systems in computer and communication science.The text reports on recent research and development in the area. It is centered around explicit expressions for the steady behavior of discrete time queueing networks and gives a moderately positive answer to the question of whether there can be a product form calculus in discrete time. Originating from a course given by the author at Hamburg University, this book is ideally suited as a text for courses on discrete time stochastic networks. Book Info Reports on recent research and development in queueing networks. Ideally suited as a text for courses on discrete time stochastic networks. Softcover. |
