Springer India Private Ltd Networking Infrastructure For Pervasive Computing Enabling Technologies And Systems by Debashis Saha
Networking Infrastructure for Pervasive Computing: Enabling Technologies & Systems is a comprehensive guide to tomorrows world of ubiquitous computing where users can access and manipulate information from everywhere at all times. The emphasis is on networking systems and standards rather than detailed physical implementation. Addressed are many technical obstacles such as connectivity levels of service performance and reliability and fairness. The authors also describe the existing enabling off-the-shelf technologies and its underlying infrastructure known as pervasive networking (PervNet). PervNet ties different sets of smart nodes together enabling them to communicate with each other to provide pervasive computing services to users. Throughout the book important issues related to scalability transparency security energy management QoS provisioning fault tolerance and disconnected operations are discussed. This work provides a research and development perspective to the ???eld of PervNet and will serve as an essential reference for network designers operators and developers.
