Review Optical Communications and Networks: (Icocn 2002) / World Scientific Publishing Company:Optical communications networks are becoming increasingly important as there is demand for high capacity links. 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 reliable and affordable. Access and metropolitan area networks are increasingly built with optical technologies to overcome the electronic bottleneck at network edges. New components and subsystems for very high speed optical networks offer new design options. This volume contains the proceedings from the First International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks, held in Singapore in 2002. It presents research results in the areas of optical communications, network components, architectures, protocols, planning, design, management and operation.

Review Transmission-Efficient Design and Management of Wavelength-Routed Optical Networks (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) / Springer: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 design algorithms and signaling protocols are proposed which take advantage of the non-homogeneous nature of optical resources. Transmission-Efficient Design and Management of Wavelength-Routed Optical Networks is an invaluable resource targeted towards practitioners, researchers, and students from telecommunications, computer science, engineering, and networking with interest in the realistic deployment of optical networks in the metro and the backbone.

Review Community Practice in the Network Society: Local Action / Global Interaction / Routledge:Around the world, citizens in local communities are utilising ICTs to underpin the creation of a participatory and democratic vision of the network society. Embedded in the richness and diversity of community practice, a vision of a 'civil network society' is emerging. A society where ICTs are harnessed as tools to improve the quality of life and reflect the diversity of social networks; where people are viewed as citizens, not just as consumers, and where heterogeneity is perceived as a strength rather than a weakness. Community Practice in the Network Society looks at the broad context in which this is happening, presents case studies of local projects from around the world, and discusses community ICT research methodologies. Not only does it highlight the symbiotic relationship between community ICT practice and research, but it also provides evidence supporting the case for the development of more inclusive and participatory pathways to the network society.

Review Learning Management Systems: Deployment Costs & Benefits / Faulkner Information Services:Learning Management Systems (LMS) are software platforms that enable the delivery, management, and administration of e-Learning and training throughout an organization. Organizations that implement LMS can achieve a number of significant benefits. LMS implementations, however, are complex and require buy-in at a number of organization levels, can be hampered by bandwidth limitations, and may pose cultural challenges within an organization. This report will consider the benefits and costs of LMS, and recommend strategies for maximizing benefits while minimizing costs.
