Experts who are active in national, state, and regional network associations provide stimulating discussions of their experiences, problems, and successes. This volume is based on the symposium, "Networking: Where From Here?"

Optical communication networks have played and will continue to play a prominent role in the development and deployment of communication network infrastructures. New optical systems and protocols will enable next generation optical networks to meet the diverse requirements from a wide range of new applications and services. Optical networks have evolved to become more flexible, intelligent and reliable. New optical switching architectures, technologies, and sophisticated control and management protocols have already enabled optical networks to be used not only in the core but also the metropolitan and access networks. The widespread deployment of optical communication networks will continue to have a big impact on our future lifestyle. Current Research Progress of Optical Networks is aimed to provide an overview on recent research progresses in optical networking with proposed solutions, survey and tutorials on various issues and topics in optical network technologies and services.

Shortly after the establishment of the Brown Boveri Research Center in 1967, plans were developed to organize a series of Brown Boveri Scientific Symposia, each hav ing a different topic, to be held every other year in Baden. We choose the subject for a symposium with the following requirements in mind: It should characterize a part of a scientific discipline; in other words it should concern an area of scholarly study and research. It should be of current interest in the sense that important results have recent ly been obtained and considerable research is under \\dY in the world's scientific community. It should bear some relation to the scientific and technological activity of the Company. These symposia are intimately related to one of the very basic concepts which have governed the work of many modern manufacturing companies: close coupling be tween science and engineering. It is to this coupling that we owe the technical stan dard of our products, and it is this coupling which we hope to be furthered by our symposia.

This book explores various challenging problems and applications areas of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and identifies the current issues and future research challenges. Discussing the latest developments and advances, it covers all aspects of in WSNs, from architecture to protocols design, and from algorithm development to synchronization issues. As such the book is an essential reference resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as scholars and academics working in the field.

In the world of digital healthcare, a critical issue looms large, demanding the immediate attention of academic scholars. The convergence of developing medical technologies, innovative digital solutions, and intricate healthcare structures has set the stage for a seismic transformation. However, the understanding of this evolving landscape remains inadequate, and the urgency to decipher these intricacies has never been more pressing. As we witness the rapid expansion of mobile-based digital healthcare, a fundamental problem becomes evident – a lack of comprehensive research on the industry's structure and dynamics. This gaping void in knowledge is the challenge that Analyzing Current Digital Healthcare Trends Using Social Networks undertakes with groundbreaking academic rigor. This book is a key resolution to this overarching problem, and it is meticulously designed to serve academic scholars seeking to unravel the intricacies of the digital healthcare ecosystem. By delving deep into the web of stakeholders, industry-specific challenges, and regulatory frameworks, it provides a comprehensive analysis that is long overdue. Extensive use of research articles, case studies, and empirical evidence serves as a compass to navigate the complexities of digital healthcare. The ultimate goal is to empower academic scholars with knowledge, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
