DESCRIPTION:
Six appendices are included. Here we provide a discussion of enabling technology at a level necessary to understand the devices on which multiwavelength networks are built. The remaining appendices contain algorithms for solving certain problems that arise in Chapters 5 and 6: a fixed-scheduling algorithm for shared media (Appendix B), an algorithm for finding limiting cuts (i.e., bottlenecks) in a network (Appendix D), and an algorithm for minimum interference routing in linear lightwave networks (Appendix E). Survivability and fault recovery are presented in Chapter 8. Many of them are open ended and some are closer to projects (for examp
"A well written book in the area of optical network." according to A Customer. A well written book in the area of multi-wavelength optical networks. The overview of the network gives reader a clear big picture. The detailed description in the aspects of multi-wavelength network analysis, design, control and fault management etc. allows reader to have a close look and a deeper understanding of the related technoloy, of the existing problems, of their near term solutions and of the long term development trend. A very helpful bo. A Customer said a good reference book. The authors with rich academic and industrial experience, give a very through navigation of the most recent optical network layer by layer. It is very good reference book for anyone who is interested in the optical communication area.. Simply Outstanding Book A real eye opener into the world of Networks and Network Management.
Multiwavelength Optical Networks provides complete coverage of the next level of communication networks-multiwavelength optical networks which meet the bandwidth demands of today's expanding networks. Renowned wireless veteran Thomas E. Stern teams with industry innovator Krishna Bala to deliver a comprehensive framework for understanding the technology, encompassing the concepts, methodology, and features of lightwave networks, such as physical layout, functionality, and algorithms. The book contains material sufficiently detailed and specific to be useful to engineers currently developing and implementing systems. An added feature is the emphasis on Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM), an approach gaining in interest due to the expectation t hat it will become the backbone of the next-generation Internet.
Stern holds the Dicker Chair in Electrical Engineering at Columbia University. His recent papers can be found in researcht/bala/papers. Balachander Krishnamurthyof AT&T Labs Research is a well-known researcher with over a score of publications in the World Wide Web and networking fields alone. Thomas E. He has given tutorials on the Web at several conferences, published over 4
