Emerging Communications Technologies
The world of communications technologies, like most high-tech fields today, changes very rapidly. Since the first edition of this book was published in 1995, several important changes have taken place in this area, and all are reflected in this second edition. Expanded and revised coverage is given of ATM, SONET, PCS, and mobile/wireless technologies and more..
Network Flows Theory, Algorithms, and Applications
Bringing together the classic and the contemporary aspects of the field, this comprehensive introduction to network flows provides an integrative view of theory, algorithms, and applications. It offers in-depth and self-contained treatments of shortest path, maximum flow, and minimum cost flow problems, including a description of new and novel polynomial-time algorithms for these core models. For professionals working with network flows, optimization, and network programming..
Distributed Operating Systems
As distributed computer systems become more pervasive, so does the need for understanding how their operating systems are designed and implemented. Andrew S. Tanenbaum’s Distributed Operating Systems fulfills this need. Representing a revised and greatly expanded Part II of the best-selling Modern Operating Systems, it covers the material from the original book, including communication, synchronization, processes, and file systems, and adds new material on distributed shared memory, real-time distributed systems, fault-tolerant distributed systems, and ATM networks. It also contains four detailed case studies: Amoeba, Mach, Chorus, and OSF/DCE. Tanenbaum’s trademark writing provides readers with a thorough, concise treatment of distributed systems..
