Whether you are technical or non-technical, it is often difficult to make sense of the ever-changing world of telecommunications. Technology seems to advance at an accelerating pace, complicating the business case on the one hand and confusing the customer on the other. The traditionally separate Fixed, Mobile, and Internet sectors are now converging into a single sector with implications for both technology and business. With so much happening, and so many options available, it is increasingly essential for telecommunications professionals to have a clear view of where the industry is heading.

This book provides a solid foundation on which to develop your view of telecommunications. It explores the core requirements of telecommunications — from markets to technology — primarily from the mobile standpoint. It examines how mobile communications is evolving to meet the changing needs of the customer, and how technology is changing to meet those needs. The picture first builds upon first principles to ensure a solid grounding in the basics before delving into more advanced issues.

The material for this book is taken primarily from the four core modules of the Certificate in Mobile Communications Distance Learning program run by the Informa Telecoms Academy. It has been designed by the highly experienced training development team to guide telecommunication professionals and students through the complex and fascinating world of mobile communications — leaving them much better equipped to fulfill roles within their current or prospective companies (be they network operators, vendors, systems integrators or service providers).

Introduction to Management Science, Ninth Edition : 9780131961333

The objective of management science is to solve the decision-making problems that confront and confound managers in both the public and the private sector by developing mathematical models of those problems. These models have traditionally been solved with various mathematical techniques, all of which lend themselves to specific types of problems. Thus, management science as a field of study has always been inherently mathematical in nature, and as a result sometimes complex and rigorous. When I began writing the first edition of this book in 1979, my main goal was to make these mathematical topics seem less complex and thus more palatable to undergraduate business students. To achieve this goal I started out by trying to provide simple, straightforward explanations of often difficult mathematical topics. I tried to use lots of examples that demonstrated in detail the fundamental mathematical steps of the modeling and solution techniques. Although in the last two and a half decades the emphasis in management science has shifted away from strictly mathematical to mostly computer solutions, my objective has not changed. I have provided clear, concise explanations of the techniques used in management science to model problems, and provided lots of examples of how to solve these models on the computer, while still including some of the fundamental mathematics of the techniques.

The stuff of management science can seem abstract, and students sometimes have trouble perceiving the usefulness of quantitative courses in general. I remember when I was a student I could not foresee how I would use such mathematical topics (in addition to a lot of the other things I learned in college) in any job after graduation. Part of the problem is that the examples used in books often do not seem realistic. Unfortunately, examples must be made simple to facilitate the learning process. Larger, more complex examples reflecting actual applications would be too complex to help the student learn the modeling technique. The modeling techniques presented in this text are, in fact, used extensively in the business world and their use is increasing rapidly because of computer and information technology. Therefore, the chances of students using the modeling techniques that they learn from this text in a future job are very great indeed.

Even if these techniques are not used on the job, the logical approach to problem solving embodied in management science is valuable for all types of jobs in all types of organizations. Management science consists of more than just a collection of mathematical modeling techniques; it embodies a philosophy of approaching a problem in a logical manner, as does any science. Thus, this text not only teaches specific techniques but also provides a very useful method for approaching problems.

My primary objective throughout all revisions of this text is readability. The modeling techniques presented in each chapter are explained with straightforward examples that avoid lengthy written explanations. These examples are organized in a logical step-by-step fashion that the student can subsequently apply to the Problems at the end of each chapter. I have tried to avoid complex mathematical notation and formulas wherever possible. These various factors will, I hope, help make the material more interesting and less intimidating to students.

Introduction to Java Programming-Comprehensive Version (6th Edition) : 9780132221580

Now integrating Java 5 throughout, this reference introduces Java programming fundamentals – including problem-solving, object-oriented programming, GUI programming, data structures, networking, internationalization, advanced GUI programming, and Web programming. Includes many new illustrations. Enhances examples throughout, using small, simple, and stimulating examples to demonstrate concepts and techniques. Offers anearlier introduction to writing programs than the previous edition. Features a new chapter on recursion, expanding treatment from earlier editions. A useful reference for anyone interested in learning more about programming.

Welcome to Introduction to Java Programming, Sixth Edition. This edition is a substantial improvement on the previous edition in respect to clarity, content, presentation, code listings, and exercises, thanks to comments and suggestions by instructors and students. Overall, it is a great leap forward. We invite you to take a close look and be the judge.

Both imperative and OOP are important programming paradigms with distinct advantages for certain applications. Some programs should be developed using the imperative approach and others are better developed using the object-oriented approach. Today's students need to know both paradigms and use them effectively. This book introduces both imperative and OOP paradigms. Students will learn when and how to apply these two paradigms effectively.

There are several strategies in teaching Java. This book adopts the fundamentals-first strategy, proceeding at a steady pace through all the necessary and important basic concepts, then moving to object-oriented programming, and then to the use of the object-oriented approach to build interesting GUI applications and applets with exception handling, and advanced features.

My own experience, confirmed by the experience of many colleagues, demonstrates that learning basic logic and fundamental programming techniques like loops and step-wise refinement is essential for new programmers to succeed. Students who cannot write code in procedural programming are not able to learn object-oriented programming. A good introduction on primitive data types, control statements, methods, and arrays prepares students to learn object-oriented programming.

The fundamentals-first approach reinforces object-oriented programming by first presenting the procedural solutions and demonstrating how they can be improved using the object-oriented approach. Students can learn when and how to apply OOP effectively.

At every SIGCSE (Computer Science Education) conference prior to 2005, the object-early approach was trumpeted and the voice for the fundamentals-first approach was muted. This changed when some former proponents of object-early began to air their frustrations and declared that object-early was a failure. This book is fundamentals-first and object-right. OOP is introduced right after fundamental programming techniques are covered. Many instructors of this book, from research universities to community colleges, have embraced the approach and have succeeded.

Programming isn't just syntax, classes, or objects. It is really problem solving. Loops, methods, and arrays are fundamental techniques for problem solving. From fundamental programming techniques to object-oriented programming, there are many layers of abstraction. Classes are simply a layer of abstraction. Applying the concept of abstraction in the design and implementation of software projects is the key to developing software. The overriding objective of the book, therefore, is to teach students to use many layers of abstraction in solving problems and to see problems in small and in large. The examples and exercises throughout the book center on problem solving and foster the concept of developing reusable methods and classes and using them to create practical projects.

Introduction to Java and Software Design: Swing Update : 9780763720308

Introduction to Java and Software Design represents a significant transition in the development of the Dale series, with much that is new. This book has been developed from the ground up to be a Java text. It is not a Java translation of our previous texts. However, we have retained our familiar easy-to-read style and clear approach to introducing new topics. The chapters retain the same overall organization with each chapter containing a full problem-solving case study, testing and debugging hints, summary, and five types of end-of-chapter exercises. Also, some topicsÑsuch as problem solving are independent of the programming language and thus contain familiar discussions.

The text uses real Java I/O classes rather than ones we supply. We have seen many introductory programming texts that introduce either C- or Pascal-like command-line I/O classes or simplified windowing classes that automatically handle events. However, our view is that event-driven I/O is the dominant model not only in Java but in the modern world of programming in general. Students come to our classes already familiar with event-driven interfaces and expect to learn how to write programs that have them.

Event handling is now a fundamental control structure and must be treated that way from the start. We therefore introduce event handling even before branching and looping. On the other hand, it is easy for students to be overwhelmed by the sheer number and complexity of Java I/O classes. We have taken great care to select a tiny but sufficient subset of the library to illustrate all of the fundamental concepts. The result is that when students are finished with the course, they can write real Java programs without being dependent on a text-supplied library. They also have developed the ability to extend their knowledge of I/O classes to include the many optional features that are available.

Introduction to Fuzzy Logic using MATLAB : 9783540357803

The world we live in is becoming ever more reliant on the use of electronics and computers to control the behavior of real-world resources. For example, an increasing amount of commerce is performed without a single banknote or coin ever being exchanged. Similarly, airports can safely land and send off airplanes without ever looking out of a window. Another, more individual, example is the increasing use of electronic personal organizers for organizing meetings and contacts. All these examples share a similar structure; multiple parties (e.g., airplanes or people) come together to co-ordinate their activities in order to achieve a common goal. It is not surprising, then, that a lot of research is being done into how a lot of mechanics of the co-ordination process can be automated using computers.

Fuzzy logic means approximate reasoning, information granulation, computing with words and so on.

Ambiguity is always present in any realistic process. This ambiguity may arise from the interpretation of the data inputs and in the rules used to describe the relationships between the informative attributes. Fuzzy logic provides an inference structure that enables the human reasoning capabilities to be applied to artificial knowledge-based systems. Fuzzy logic provides a means for converting linguistic strategy into control actions and thus offers a high-level computation.

Fuzzy logic provides mathematical strength to the emulation of certain perceptual and linguistic attributes associated with human cognition, whereas the science of neural networks provides a new computing tool with learning and adaptation capabilities. The theory of fuzzy logic provides an inference mechanism under cognitive uncertainty, computational neural networks offer exciting advantages such as learning, adaptation, fault tolerance, parallelism, and generalization.

Introduction to Focused Ion Beams: Instrumentation, Theory, Techniques and Practice : 9780387231167

The focused ion beam (FIB) instrument has experienced an intensive period of maturation since its inception. Numerous new techniques and applications have been brought to fruition by the tireless efforts of some very innovative scientists with the foresight to recognize the potential of this upstart apparatus. Over the past few years, the FIB has gained acceptance as more than just an expensive sample preparation tool, and has taken its place among the suite of other instruments commonly available in analytical and forensic laboratories, universities, geological, medical and biological research institutions, manufacturing plants, and more. The applications for FIB that have yet to be realized are endless. The future for this instrument is certain to be filled with innovation and excitement.

Although the utility of the FIB is not limited to the preparation of specimens for subsequent analysis by other analytical techniques, it has revolutionized the area of TEM specimen preparation. One anecdotal example is relayed by Lucille Giannuzzi, one of the editors of this book. Approximately 18 months of Lucille’s graduate research effort was devoted to the development of a TEM specimen preparation technique for the crosssection analysis of galvanized steel. Upon her introduction to an FEI 611 FIB in 1995, the value of the FIB instrument, which was then capable of preparing TEM specimens of semiconductor materials in about five hours, was overwhelmingly and immediately apparent.

Today’s FIB instruments can prepare TEM specimens in less than an hour. The FIB has also been used to prepare samples for numerous other analytical techniques, and offers a wide range of other capabilities. While the mainstream of FIB usage remains within the semiconductor industry, FIB usage has expanded to applications in metallurgy, ceramics, composites, polymers, geology, art, biology, Pharmaceuticals, forensics, and other disciplines. In addition, the FIB has been used to prepare samples for numerous other analytical techniques. Computer automated procedures have been configured for unattended use of FIB and dual platform instruments. New applications of FIB and dual platform instrumentation are constantly being developed for materials characterization and nanotechnology. The site specific nature of the FIB milling and deposition capabilities allows preparation and processing of materials in ways that are limited only by one’s imagination. Additional uses and applications will likely have been discovered by the time that this volume hits the shelves. The hardest task in editing this compilation was to decide when to stop and send it to press.

In this book we have attempted to produce a reference on FIB geared towards techniques and applications. The first portion of this book introduces the basics of FIB instrumentation, milling, and deposition capabilities. The chapter dedicated to ion-solid interactions is presented so that the FIB user can understand which parameters will influence FIB milling behavior. The remainder of the book focuses on how to prepare and analyze samples using FIB and related tools, and presents specific applications and techniques of the uses of FIB milling, deposition, and dual platform techniques. May you have as much fun working with FIB instruments as we continue to have!!

Introduction to Data Mining and its Applications (Studies in Computational Intelligence) : 9783540343509

An enormous proliferation of databases in almost every area of human endeavor has created a great demand for new, powerful tools for turning data into useful, task-oriented knowledge. In the efforts to satisfy this need, researchers have been exploring ideas and methods developed in machine learning, pattern recognition, statistical data analysis, data visualization, neural nets, etc. These efforts have led to the emergence of a new research area, frequently called data mining and knowledge discovery.

The current Information Age is characterized by an extraordinary growth of data that are being generated and stored about all kinds of human endeavors. An increasing proportion of these data is recorded in the form of computer databases, so that the computer technology may easily access it. The availability of very large volumes of such data has created a problem of how to extract form useful, task-oriented knowledge.

Data analysis techniques that have been traditionally used for such tasks include regression analysis, cluster analysis, numerical taxonomy, multidimensional analysis, other multivariate statistical methods, stochastic models, time series analysis, nonlinear estimation techniques, and others. These techniques have been widely used for solving many practical problems. They are, however, primarily oriented toward the extraction of quantitative and statistical data characteristics, and as such have inherent limitations.

For example, a statistical analysis can determine covariances and correlations between variables in data. It cannot, however, characterize the dependencies at an abstract, conceptual level and procedure, a casual explanation of reasons why these dependencies exist. Nor can it develop a justification of these relationships in the form of higher-level logic-style descriptions and laws.

A statistical data analysis can determine the central tendency and variance of given factors, and a regression analysis can fit a curve to a set of datapoints. These techniques cannot, however, produce a qualitative description of the regularities and determine their dependence of factors not explicitly provided in the data, nor can they draw an analogy between the discovered regularity and regularity in another domain.

Introduction to Cybernetics (University Paperbacks) : 9780416683004

Many workers in the biological sciences—physiologists, psychologists, sociologists—are interested in cybernetics and would like to apply its methods and techniques to their own speciality. Many have, however, been prevented from taking up the subject by an impression that its use must be preceded by a long study of electronics and advanced pure mathematics; for they have formed the impression that cybernetics and these subjects are inseparable.

The author is convinced, however, that this impression is false. The basic ideas of cybernetics can be treated without reference to electronics, and they are fundamentally simple; so although advanced techniques may be necessary for advanced applications, a great deal can be done, especially in the biological sciences, by the use of quite simple techniques, provided they are used with a clear and deep understanding of the principles involved. It is the author’s belief that if the subject is founded in the common-place and well understood, and is then built up carefully, step by step, there is no reason why the worker with only elementary mathematical knowledge should not achieve a complete understanding of its basic principles. With such an understanding he will then be able to see exactly what further techniques he will have to learn if he is to proceed further; and, what is particularly useful, he will be able to see what techniques he can safely ignore as being irrelevant to his purpose.

The book is intended to provide such an introduction. It starts from common-place and well-understood concepts, and proceeds, step by step, to show how these concepts can be made exact, and how they can be developed until they lead into such subjects as feedback, stability, regulation, ultrastability, information, coding, noise, and other cybernetic topics. Throughout the book no knowledge of mathematics is required beyond elementary algebra; in particular, the arguments nowhere depend on the calculus (the few references to it can be ignored without harm, for they are intended only to show how the calculus joins on to the subjects discussed, if it should be used). The illustrations and examples are mostly taken from the biological, rather than the physical, sciences. Its overlap with Design for a Brain is small, so that the two books are almost independent. They are, however, intimately related, and are best treated as complementary; each will help to illuminate the other.

Introduction to Cryptography : 9783540422785

Due to the rapid growth of digital communication and electronic data exchange, information security has become a crucial issue in industry, business, and administration. Modern cryptography provides essential techniques for securing information and protecting data.

In the first part, this book covers the key concepts of cryptography on an undergraduate level, from encryption and digital signatures to cryptographic protocols. Essential techniques are demonstrated in protocols for key exchange, user identification, electronic elections and digital cash. In the second part, more advanced topics are addressed, such as the bit security of one-way functions and computationally perfect pseudorandom bit generators. The security of cryptographic schemes is a central topic. Typical examples of provably secure encryption and signature schemes and their security proofs are given. Though particular attention is given to the mathematical foundations, no special background in mathematics is presumed. The necessary algebra, number theory and probability theory are included in the appendix. Each chapter closes with a collection of exercises.

The second edition contains corrections, revisions and new material, including a complete description of the AES, an extended section on cryptographic hash functions, a new section on random oracle proofs, and a new section on public-key encryption schemes that are provably secure against adaptively-chosen-ciphertext attacks.

Introduction to Cryptography with Java Applets : 9780763722074

Cryptography is the art of secret writing. It involves transforming information into apparently unintelligible garbage so that unwanted eyes will be unable to comprehend it. This transformation, however, must be done so that it is reversible, so that individuals intended to view the information may do so. This is the traditional use of cryptography.

I agree with the philosophy that it is wiser to publish your encryption methods than to try to keep them secret. Thus, this book and others like it exist. Only government agencies endeavor to keep their encryption methods hidden. It is generally thought that publishing your ciphers exposes them to an army of brilliant people who will take great joy in pointing out any weaknesses they have. This gives the developer a chance to correct these weaknesses. On the other hand, trying to protect your methods from someone who really wants to know what they are probably wonÕt work. A few bribes here and there will take care of that, and once they know your algorithms, they will pay very intelligent people to find weaknesses to exploit. The difference, of course, is that you wonÕt know that this has happened, nor that the precious information you are sending with this cryptosystem is being monitored.

A great deal of modern cryptography depends upon the clever manipulation of huge integers. Thus, both number theory and abstract algebra play a large role in contemporary methods of hiding information. In many respects, Java is a pioneer in computer languages, with system security one of its primary missions. Java provides a BigInteger class, and through the use of this class, one may write cryptographic routines unbreakable by even the fastest supercomputers in the world. This will not change in the near future, nor probably even the distant future. The solution to modern cryptanalysis is not more powerful hardware, but more powerful mathematics, for modern cryptosystems depend on the intractability of certain mathematical problems.

Java already has security classes defined for it; they are in a package consisting of various abstract classes and interfaces, like Cipher, Message, and so on. This book does not cover these; rather, the emphasis is in learning the mathematical theory of cryptography, and writing algorithms Òfrom the ground upÓ to implement the theory. For an excellent exposition of Java security providers and the Java security classes, one should consult Knudsen's book, Java Cryptography by OÕReilly.

Introduction to Computing and Programming with Java: A Multimedia Approach : 9780131496989

This book is intended to introduce computing, including programming, to students with no prior programming experience. One of the lessons from the research on computing education is that one doesn't just "learn to program." One learns to program something [4, 17]. How motivating that something is can make the difference between learning to program or not [6]. Some people are interested in learning programming just for programming's sakebut that's not most people.

Unfortunately, most introductory programming books are written as if students have a burning desire to learn to program. They emphasize programming concepts and give little thought to making the problems that are being solved interesting and relevant. They introduce new concepts without showing why the students should want to know about them.

In this book students will learn about programming by writing programs to manipulate media. Students will create and modify images, such as correcting for "red-eye" and generating negative images. Students will modify sounds, like splicing words into sentences or reversing sounds to make interesting effects. Students will write programs to generate Web pages from data in databases, in the same way that CNN.com and Amazon.com do. They will create animations and movies using special effects like the ones seen on television and in movies.

Students in courses taught at Georgia Tech have found these programs interesting and motivating. Students have even reported turning in their programs and then continuing to work on them to see what else they can make.

This book is about teaching people to program in order to communicate. People want to communicate. We are social creatures, and the desire to communicate is one of our primal motivations. Increasingly, the computer is used as a tool for communication even more than as a tool for calculation. Virtually all published text, images, sounds, music, and movies today are prepared using computing technology. This book focuses on how to manipulate images, sounds, text, and movies as professionals might, but with programs written by the students.

We realize that most people will use professional-grade applications to perform these same manipulations. So why learn to program these manipulations yourself? Why not just leave it to the developers of Photoshop and iMovie? The answer depends on your interests and career choices.

Introduction to Computer Security : 9780321247445

In this authoritative book, widely respected practitioner and teacher Matt Bishop presents a clear and useful introduction to the art and science of information security. Bishop's insights and realistic examples will help any practitioner or student understand the crucial links between security theory and the day-to-day security challenges of IT environments.

Bishop explains the fundamentals of security: the different types of widely used policies, the mechanisms that implement these policies, the principles underlying both policies and mechanisms, and how attackers can subvert these tools--as well as how to defend against attackers. A practicum demonstrates how to apply these ideas and mechanisms to a realistic company.

Introduction to Computer Security is adapted from Bishop's comprehensive and widely praised book, Computer Security: Art and Science. This shorter version of the original work omits much mathematical formalism, making it more accessible for professionals and students who have a less formal mathematical background, or for readers with a more practical than theoretical interest.

Introduction to Computational Biology: An Evolutionary Approach : 9783764367008

In 1982, the first release of the GenBank sequence database contained 601,438 residues. By 2005, this number had grown beyond and continues to increase exponentially. Far from regarding this as “information overload”, we believe the free availability of so much precise and fundamental data on the ultimate constituents of life to be the hallmark of a golden age in biomedical research. Computational biology is concerned with helping to understand these data.

The aim of this book is to give a first introduction to the computational aspects of genome-scale molecular biology, also known as genomics. The interpretation of biological data is often contingent on an understanding of the evolutionary history that has generated it. Hence, we explain evolutionary models as well as classical sequence analysis.

Our intended audience is primarily students of bioinformatics, as well as researchers and students in neighboring disciplines including molecular biology, genetics, medicine, physics, mathematics, and computer science. As background, we assume familiarity with basic general and molecular biology as well as elementary probability theory. We also expect an interest in computers and their programming. In writing this book we have benefited from the expertise and support of a number of colleagues. Clemens Beckstein invited us in 1999 to give our first lecture series on computational biology at Jena University. Wolfgang Stephan and Monty Slatkin encouraged us to turn the lecture notes accumulated in Jena into a textbook. Steffi Gebauer-Jung helped with some of the algorithms we present. Claudia Acquisti, Frank Leßke, Peter Pfaffelhuber, Karl Schmid, and Daniel Zivkovic commented on earlier versions of the manuscript. Our students improved our teaching of computational biology over the years. Finally, we owe a huge debt of gratitude to Angelika B¨orsch-Haubold, who edited the entire book, compiled the index and guided this project through the production stage. Without her contribution there would be no book.

Introduction to Bluetooth Technology: Market, Operation, Profiles, and Services : 9780974694351

If you are involved or getting involved in Bluetooth products, technologies and applications, this book is for you. This book explains what Bluetooth technology is and why it is important for so many types of consumer electronics devices. Since it was first officially standardized in 1999, the Bluetooth market has grown to more than 35 million devices per year.

You will find out how Bluetooth devices can automatically locate nearby Bluetooth devices, authenticates them, discover their capabilities, and the process used to setup connections with them. You will learn how the use of standard profiles allows Bluetooth devices from different manufacturers to communicate with each other and work together in the same way.

Bluetooth devices operate in the frequency band where other devices operate including wireless LAN, microwave ovens, cordless telephones, wireless video cameras, and others. This will explain how Bluetooth’s spread spectrum technology minimizes interference to and from other devices.

Bluetooth was designed to be a simple low power radio link to primarily replace cables for short-range connections. While the use of a simple design results in an efficient wireless communication device, it does mean that Bluetooth does not perform the same as other wireless technologies. You will discover in this book how Bluetooth compares to other technologies such as WLAN systems.

Bluetooth has several user programmable options including the ability to hide devices (non-discoverable) and the ability to require other users to authenticate before allowing other devices to connect to your device. You will learn about key options that you may set and how it may affect the operation of your Bluetooth devices.

Introduction to ATM/IP Design and Performance with Applications Analysis Software : 9780471491873

Many engineers and students experience difficulty in making sense of issues associated with IP and ATM teletraffic techniques. This is partly because of the subject itself: networks are flexible, complicated, and still evolving. However, some of the difficulties arise because of the advanced mathematical methods that have been applied to provide analytic tools. The research literature abounds with many and varied analytical approaches applied to a bewildering array of traffic mixes, switch designs and traffic control mechanisms.

Introduction to IP and ATM Design and Performance provides: an introduction to IP and ATM traffic issues; performance evaluation using analysis and simulation; presentation of key formulas describing traffic and queueing behaviour and practical examples, graphs and tables for the design of wide area networks. Particular areas addressed include the fundamental traffic control functions: connection admission control; usage parameter control; priority control; queue scheduling and buffer management.

Features include:

Clear Expansion of typical traffic and queueing behaviour

Simple exposition of fundamental performance evaluation methods and techniques for ATM and IP

All formulas are available in MathCAD files on the related web-site

Avoids the use of advanced mathematical methods

This simple intuitive approach is easy to follow and will benefit both engineers in the telecommunications industry and undergraduate and postgraduate students in telecommunications, communications engineering, computer engineering courses.
