The Network Designer's Handbook will help anyone trapped between limited bandwidth, fault-intolerant computer buses and expensive, over-engineered telecommunications technology. It will help anyone looking for new cost-effective ways to build LAN switches, RAID systems, multimedia servers or multiprocessors. It will help the small company looking for an edge to break into the market, and the large one looking for ways to improve its margins and boost its market share. This handbook, the result of over six man-years of effort at the PACT Research Institute, provides solid engineering data for the computer systems professional. Four cpu-months of system simulation are summarised in an easy-to-read form, allowing the consequences of different design decisions to be simply compared. The Network Designer's Handbook explains the principles of the new generation of small-scale low-buffer serial interconnects. Using the specific example of IEEE 1355-1995 links and the STC104 high-valency...

Transmission-Efficient Design and Management of Wavelength-Routed Optical Networks is a comprehensive treatment of the impact of transmission impairments on the design and management of wavelength-routed optical networks. It considers mesh-type network topologies and presents efficient algorithms and protocols for cost-effective deployment. Starting with transparent networks, this work focuses on power implications such as cross-connect design, device allocation problems, and management issues. In this all-optical model, a power-efficient design space, based on reduction in overall cost and ease of network management, is presented. This design concept, motivates various switch architectures and different optimization problems. Problems motivated by this design concept are addressed from both their theoretical and experimental aspects. After that, the book departs from pure transparent networks and allows for signal regeneration at some strategic locations in the network. Efficient...

Collaborative Communities: Partnering for Profit in the Networked Economy challenges your most deeply held assumptions about how to build a profitable business. It is the first and only book to show how to organize your business around customers in collaboration with business partners and suppliers. Business is going through a revolution and companies and industries as we know them are ceasing to exist. Regardless of how long you?ve been in business, no matter how many customers you have, or your company?s revenues and profits, you must embrace the Collaborative Community? as the business pattern for achieving success in the networked economy. Business is quickly becoming defined by the choices the individual customer wants businesses to make available to him or her, not what a business chooses to make available. Customers are increasingly expecting to collaborate in the development of personalized goods, services, and information. The problem, quite simply, is...

This book explores the various ways in which computer networking, and more specifically the Internet, is changing the practices, the structure, and the products of academic scholarship. It considers research, teaching, and dissemination of knowledge across a range of disciplines in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences in order to identify particular uses of networking that will come to constitute the academic world of the future. The contributors consider such themes as how networking and particular software environments can be used to support inquiry within research specialties and how scholars in diverse disciplines respond to the availability of new networked channels of scholarly communication. In the context of education, they argue that networking can reconfigure the process of learning, encompassing new audiences, new relationships with teachers, and new learning skills adapted for the network environment. The products of such new configurations are also...

Linux is here to stay, and Linux Network Servers provides the skills and information needed to take advantage of all this operating system has to offer. Linux may not have toppled Windows on the desktop, but it has secured a place in IT infrastructures as an economical and practical network server, able to support a wide variety of services, including the Web, FTP, e-mail, DNS, printer sharing, and file sharing. This update to the best-selling Linux Network Servers: 24seven is a perfect addition to the highly-acclaimed Craig Hunt Linux Library, the goal of which is to Linux administrators with focussed guidance on complex tasks involved in managing Linux in the real world. Hype-free, this book offers clear and concise explanations on turning a machine running Linux into a reliable, high-performance supporter of network services. The author, renowned Linux authority Craig Hunt, has updated the book to cover the latest Linux kernel, 2.4 and added new insights and perspectives regarding...
