Book SynopsisTrade Review"In the book, consisting of 9 chapters, individual chapters can be grouped into three functional blocks. In the first one, the authors present the principles of accessing computer networks and the basic issues of connecting and integrating various network solutions along with the principles of datagram communication. In the second segment of the book, the emphasis is placed on the quality of communication, in particular flow and congestion control, allowing to counteract overload phenomena in communication between end users.... The last chapters of the book concern data formatting, network security and the principles of realization of selected network applications.An important supplement to the book are numerous examples and a large number of exercises and tasks for the readers. The authors add sketchy solutions to some of them. The book gives therefore interesting and useful material for people who want to learn the basics of computer networks operation." --zbMath/European Mathematical Society and the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and HumanitiesTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisIndustrial IoT (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 are newly developing and fast emerging domains of interest among students, researchers, and professionals in academia and industry. Due to the popular demand of this topic, Introduction to Industrial Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 is written to serve a diverse readership from the domains of computer science and engineering, mechanical engineering, information technology, industrial engineering, electronics engineering, and other related branches of engineering. Based on the lead authorâs massive open online courses (MOOCs), this book can be used as a textbook on the emerging paradigm of Industry 4.0 and IIoT, as well as a reference for professionals working in sectors of IIoT.The book covers the significant aspects of IIoT in detail, including sensors, actuators, data transmission, and data acquisition, which form the core of IIoT. Topics and concepts are presented in a comprehensive manner, so that readers can develop expertise and knowledge. The book helps beginners to gain a basic idea of Industry 4.0 and IIoT as the first section is an overview of IoT applications, infrastructure-based protocols, cloud computing, and fog computing. The second section is designed to impart a basic knowledge of Industry 4.0 and IIoT as well as of the different phases of development in industry. Delving into more advanced areas, other sections in the book cover: The business models and reference architecture of IIoT The technological aspects of Industry 4.0 and IIoT Predictive and prescriptive analytics applied in IIoT-based implementations Applications and case studies of IIoT Key enabling technologies of IIoT To aid students and professional master IIoT and Industry 4.0, the book includes conceptual questions, exercises, and learning objectives.Table of ContentsPart 1.

Book SynopsisSelf-Organization in Sensor and Actor Networks explores self-organization mechanisms and methodologies concerning the efficient coordination between intercommunicating autonomous systems.Self-organization is often referred to as the multitude of algorithms and methods that organise the global behaviour of a system based on inter-system communication. Studies of self-organization in natural systems first took off in the 1960s. In technology, such approaches have become a hot research topic over the last 4-5 years with emphasis upon management and control in communication networks, and especially in resource-constrained sensor and actor networks. In the area of ad hoc networks new solutions have been discovered that imitate the properties of self-organization. Some algorithms for on-demand communication and coordination, including data-centric networking, are well-known examples. Key features include: Detailed treatment of self-organization, mobile sensor and actoTable of ContentsForeword. Preface. About the Author. List of Abbreviations.
