Introduction to Show Networking covers the basics of how Ethernet networks provide a platform for entertainment control and audio/video media distribution for concerts, theatre productions, corporate and special events, cruise ship revues, wrestling shows, houses of worship, museum presentations, fountain spectaculars—any kind of show presented live for an audience. The book’s bottom-up approach was designed with show technicians in mind, starting with the basics and then moving up through cables, network switches, and layering, and on through Ethernet, and network components like TCP, UDP, IP and subnet masks, all with a practical focus. More advanced concepts are introduced, including broadcast storms and VLANs, along with show networking best practices. Closing out the book is a network design process demonstrated through practical, real-world examples for lighting, sound, video, scenic automation, and show control networks. An appendix covering binary and hexadecimal numbers is also included. This easy-reading book draws from Huntington’s Show Networks and Control Systems, the industry standard since 1994, but is completely re-focused, reorganized, and updated.

This unique text helps make sense of big data in engineering applications using tools and techniques from signal processing. It presents fundamental signal processing theories and software implementations, reviews current research trends and challenges, and describes the techniques used for analysis, design and optimization. Readers will learn about key theoretical issues such as data modelling and representation, scalable and low-complexity information processing and optimization, tensor and sublinear algorithms, and deep learning and software architecture, and their application to a wide range of engineering scenarios. Applications discussed in detail include wireless networking, smart grid systems, and sensor networks and cloud computing. This is the ideal text for researchers and practising engineers wanting to solve practical problems involving large amounts of data, and for students looking to grasp the fundamentals of big data analytics.

This book proposes a process-oriented model for business networking and the concept of networkability to develop realistic strategies for managing enterprises relationships in the Internet economy. It formulates key success factors and management guidelines which were developed in close co-operation between research and practice.

Business Data Communications and Networking, 14th Edition presents a classroom-tested approach to the subject, combining foundational concepts, practical exercises, and real-world case studies. The text provides a balanced, well-rounded presentation of data communications while highlighting its importance to nearly every aspect of modern business. This fully-updated new edition helps students understand how networks work and what is required to build and manage scalable, mobile, and secure networks. Clear, student-friendly chapters introduce, explain, and summarize fundamental concepts and applications such as server architecture, network and transport layers, network design processes and tools, wired and wireless networking, and network security and management. An array of pedagogical features teaches students how to select the appropriate technologies necessary to build and manage networks that meet organizational needs, maximize competitive advantage, and protect networks and data from cybersecurity threats. Discussions of real-world management and technical issues, from improving device performance to assessing and controlling costs, provide students with insight into the daily networking operations of actual businesses.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking, ICDCN 2011, held in Bangalore, India, during January 2-5, 2011. The 31 revised full papers and 3 revised short papers presented together with 3 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 140 submissions. The papers address all current issues in the field of distributed computing and networking. Being a leading forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and share best practices, ICDCN also serves as a forum for PhD students to share their research ideas and get quality feedback from the well-renowned experts in the field.
