Carrier Ethernet: Providing the Need for Speed

Gilbert Held, "Carrier Ethernet: Providing the Need for Speed"
Auerbach Publications | ISBN-10: 1420060392 | March 11, 2008 | 224 pages | PDF | 3.1MB

Facilitating high data transfers over long distances at a reasonable cost, Carrier Ethernet is solidifying its fundamental position as the core of next-generation networks. Since it first dazzled the IT world 40 years ago with its ability to move data over local networks, Ethernet has dramatically evolved in both form and function. And now, Carrier Ethernet, flexing its multi-gigabit muscle, is rapidly emerging as the undisputed technology of choice.

Next Generation Networks: Perspectives and Potentials

Jingming Li Salina, Pascal Salina, "Next Generation Networks: Perspectives and Potentials"
Wiley | ISBN: 0470516496 | February 2008 | 252 pages | PDF | 1.9MB

Next Generation Networks (NGN) provide ubiquitous connectivity with pervasive accessibility to service, application, content and information. NGN will bring tremendous advantages to companies and individuals, in terms of access to information, education and knowledge, efficiency, dematerialisation and new user experiences.

Next Generation Networks: Perspectives and Potentials explores the potentials of NGN and provides an outlook of future services for the end users and opportunities for the traditional network operators and new players. It creates a framework to aid the understanding of NGN, exploring the strategic development and practical deployment of NGN. This book provides a complete and comprehensive picture of the future directions, substantial benefits, issues, applications and services for NGN.

Networked RFID Systems and Lightweight Cryptography: Raising Barriers to Product Counterfeiting

Peter H. Cole, Damith C. Ranasinghe, "Networked RFID Systems and Lightweight Cryptography: Raising Barriers to Product Counterfeiting"
Springer | ISBN-10: 3540716408 | December 14, 2007 | 355 pages | PDF | 5.5MB

The book consists of a collection of works on utilising the automatic identification technology provided by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to address the problems of global counterfeiting of goods. The book presents current research, directed to securing supply chains against the efforts of counterfeit operators, carried out at the Auto-ID Labs around the globe. The collection of works and the organisation of the book assume very little knowledge on the part of the reader on Networked RFID systems as the material provided in the introduction familiarises the reader with concepts, underlying principles and vulnerabilities of modern RFID systems. The collection of works presented on highlighting the counterfeiting problem and problems with existing low cost RFID technology is an important guide to practitioners, professionals and graduates in the area of RFID systems application, implementation and integration.

Aeronautical Radio Communication Systems and Networks

Dale Stacey, "Aeronautical Radio Communication Systems and Networks"
Wiley | ISBN: 0470018593 | February 2008 | 370 pages | PDF | 2.9MB

Typically, there are over twenty radio systems on board the average commercial jet aircraft dealing with communication, navigation and surveillance functions. Very high frequency (VHF) air-to-ground communication is usually the main method of information and control exchange between pilot and air traffic control. Satellite and high frequency radio links are used to complement this system for long range or oceanic information exchanges. Other communications systems are required between the airline operation centre and the pilot and sometimes between the passengers and the ground.

Architecture-Independent Programming for Wireless Sensor Networks: An Architecture-Independent Approach

Amol B. Bakshi, Viktor K. Prasanna, "Architecture-Independent Programming for Wireless Sensor Networks: An Architecture-Independent Approach"
Wiley | ISBN-10: 0471778893 | May 27, 2008 | 188 pages | PDF | 9.9MB

Following this book's clear explanations, examples, and illustrations, domain experts can design and deploy nontrivial networked sensing applications without much knowledge of the low-level networking aspects of deployment. This new approach is based on the Abstract Task Graph (ATaG), a data-driven programming model and an innovative methodology forarchitecture-independent programming and automatic software synthesis for sensor networks. ATaG programs are concise, understandable, and network-independent descriptions of global application functionality that can be automatically compiled onto any target deployment.

Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring: Including Plug-Ins and Hardware Devices

Max Schubert, Derrick Bennett, Jonathan Gines, Andrew Hay, John Strand, "Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring: Including Plug-Ins and Hardware Devices"
Syngress | ISBN-10: 1597492671 | May 22, 2008 | 432 pages | PDF | 3MB

Nagios is an Open Source network, hardware, and application monitoring program. It is designed to inform system administrators of problems on their networks before their clients, end-users or managers do. Nagios is a SysAdmin's best friend. Nagios is installed on over 300,000 machines worldwide, and truly is a global product: approximately 25.6% of users are in the U.S., and 30% in EMEA. Nagios can monitor everything from network bandwidth to the temperature and humidity in a server room. SysAdmins are able to use Nagios for such a variety of purposes through custom software "plug ins" and third party hardware. SysAdmins customize these plug ins instructing Nagios to monitor the servers, applications, or devices that are most critical to their network infrastructure. These plug ins also allow SysAdmins to integrate Nagios with other monitoring devices and applications like Snort and Wireshark. Nagios can also be fully integrated with third party environmental monitoring devices and remote power supplies. When Nagios detects a problem, it can notify the SysAdmin in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS, etc.). Current status information, historical logs, and reports can all be accessed via a web browser. Nagios could send a text message to a SysAdmin sitting on his couch at home that the temperature in the server room is too hot and could potentially damage the equipment. The SysAdmin can then check the status of the server from home using his Nagios Web interface, and then coordinate with the appropriate facility management personnel to check the air conditioning in the server room. This is merely one example of Nagios? capabilities. The same scenario could be applied to an overloaded Exchange server, a router being pounded by a Denial of Service Attack, or a user accessing or downloading unauthorized materials.
