Design of Modern Communication Networks

Preface

Design of communication network is a complex task, as many of the problems involved are inherently difficult to solve. This leads to the necessity of using a collection of cleverly designed algorithms and methods rather than a single approach. The book is written on at least two levels. Firstly, specific problems related to network design form the main structure of the book. On a second level, various types of algorithms are used, discussed and modified in the course of the text. The structure gives views: one problem based, one method based.

The main intention is that the text will serve as a handbook in engineering with a focus on algorithms and their illustration by examples. On the other hand, rather than being an encyclopedia of ...
