For the first time the problems of voice services self-similarity are discussed systematically and in detail with specific examples and illustrations.
Self-Similar Processes in Telecommunications considers the self-similar (fractal and multifractal) models of telecommunication traffic and efficiency based on the assumption that its traffic has fractal or multifractal properties (is self-similar). The theoretical aspects of the most well-known traffic models demonstrating self-similar properties are discussed in detail and the comparative analysis of the different models’ efficiency for self-similar traffic is presented.
This book demonstrates how to use self-similar processes for designing new telecommunications systems and optimizing existing networks so as to achieve maximum efficiency and serviceability. The approach is rooted in theory, describing the algorithms (the logical arithmetical or computational procedures that define how a task is performed) for modeling these self-similar processes. However, the language and ideas are essentially accessible for those who have a general knowledge of the subject area and the advice is highly practical: all models, problems and solutions are illustrated throughout using numerous real-world examples.
- Adopts a detailed, theoretical, yet broad-based and practical mathematical approach for designing and operating numerous types of telecommunications systems and networks so as to achieve maximum efficiency
- Places the subject in context, describing the current algorithms that make up the fractal or self-similar processes while pointing to the future development of the technology
- Offers a comparative analysis of the different types of self-similar process usage within the context of local area networks, wide area networks and in the modeling of video traffic and mobile communications networks
- Describes how mathematical models are used as a basis for building numerous types of network, including voice, audio, data, video, multimedia services and IP (Internet Protocol) telephony
The book will appeal to the wide range of specialists dealing with the design and exploitation of telecommunication systems. It will be useful for the post-graduate students, lecturers and researchers connected with communication networks disciplines.
Resilience is the key not just to coping with unwanted change and stressful circumstances, but to truly thriving in the workplace. Resilience at Work shows readers how to withstand problems large and small, increasing positive attitudes like commitment, control, and challenge, while decreasing those of isolation, powerlessness, and threat. Packed with practical techniques and real-life examples, the book presents resilience as a powerful skill anyone can develop in order to maximize their potential and change their life for the better. 
This is a book about hacking. It’s not a novel about a set of elusive cyberpunks, it’s a do-it-yourself manual. Are we trying to tell you how to break into other people’s systems? No, we’re trying to help you make your own systems more secure by breaking into them yourself. Yes, this has the side effect that you might learn how to break into someone else’s system as well, and therein lies much of the controversy surrounding hacking.
