Optical communications networks are becoming increasingly important as the demand for high capacity links is intensifying. Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is widely deployed at the core networks to accommodate high capacity transport systems. Optical components, such as optical amplifiers, tunable filters, transceivers, termination devices and add-drop multiplexers, are becoming more affordable and reliable. Access and metropolitan area networks are increasingly built with optical...

With a mixture of theory, examples, and well-integrated figures, Embedded Software for the IoT helps the reader understand the details in the technologies behind the devices used in the Internet of Things. It provides an overview of IoT, parameters of designing an embedded system, and good practice concerning code, version control and defect-tracking needed to build and maintain a connected embedded system. After presenting a discussion on the history of the internet and the word wide web the b...

Information technology is one of the most rapidly changing disciplines, especially with the fuzzy extension. Fuzzy databases have been studied in many works and papers, but in general, these works study some particular area and many works are theoretical works, with very few real applications. Handbook of Research on Fuzzy Information Processing in Databases provides comprehensive coverage and definitions of the most important issues, concepts, trends, and technologies in fuzzy topics applied to...

Kafka Streams is a library designed to allow for easy streamprocessing of data flowing into a Kafka cluster. Stream processing hasbecome one of the biggest needs for companies over the last few yearsas quick data insight becomes more and more important but currentsolutions can be complex and large, requiring additional tools toperform lookups and aggregations. Kafka Streams in Action teaches readers everything they need to knowto implement stream processing on data flowing into their Kafkaplatfo...

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is the standard for directory information access and is the underlying protocol for a variety of email systems, Web systems, and enterprise applications. LDAP enables central management of users, groups, devices, and other data, thereby simplifying directory management and reducing the total cost of ownership. Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services, written by the creators of the protocol, is known as the LDAP bible and is the classic tex...

Recent Advances in Broadband Integrated Network Operations and Services Management covers the principles of both wired and wireless communications of voice, data, images, and video and the impact of their business values on the organizations in which they are used. This reference book includes theoretical and practical works, relevant case studies, topical surveys, and research articles that address problems faced by telecommunication service providers, equipment manufacturers, enterprises, and...

OFDM Wireless LANs: A Theoretical and Practical Guide explores OFDM WLAN basics, including components of OFDM and multi-carrier WLAN standards. This book also provides a practical approach to OFDM by including software and hardware examples and detailed implementation explanations. And it defines and explains the mathematical concepts behind OFDM necessary for successful OFDM WLAN implementations.

A reference guide to Integrated Services Digital Network, or ISDN, this edition includes up-to-date treatment of broadband ISDN (B-ISDN), ATM and Frame Relay standards, such as the IEEE 802.9 on integrated voice/data local area networks. It also features new sections on B-ISDN applications, ATM's user-network interface (UNI) and network-network interface (NNI). Aimed primarily at telecommunications and data communications specialists designing and implementing ISDN networks, this text also inclu...

This work provides base business decisions on a savvy understanding of the interrelationships between network technologies, and guidelines on how to profitably deliver broadband services across all major network types. It also describes how 3G wireless, the wireless internet, softswitching and M-commerce will affect business. For telecom service providers attempting to deliver complex bundles of broadband services (voice, internet-access and email) across different network types (wireless, IP, c...

Fueled by falling display hardware costs and rising demand, digital signage and pervasive displays are becoming ever more ubiquitous. Such systems have traditionally been used for advertising and information dissemination, with digital signage commonplace in shopping malls, airports and public spaces. While advertising and broadcasting announcements remain important applications, developments in sensing and interaction technologies are enabling entirely new classes of display applications that t...
