Book Description

Tracks the evolution of the international cellular industry from the late 1970s to the present.

The development of the mobile-phone industry into what we know today required remarkable cooperation between companies, governments, and industrial sectors. Companies developing cellular infrastructure, cellular devices, cellular network services, and eventually software and mobile semiconductors had to cooperate, not simply compete, with each other.

In this global history of the mobile-phone industry, Daniel D. Garcia-Swartz and Martin Campbell-Kelly examine its development in the United States, Europe, Japan, and several emerging economies, including China and India. They present the evolution of mobile phones from the perspective of vendors of telephone equipment and network operators, users whose lives have been transformed by mobile phones, and governments that have fostered specific mobile-phone standards. Cellular covers the technical aspects of the cellphone, as well as its social and political impact.

• Daniel D. Garcia-Swartz is an economist at Charles River Associates in Chicago. Martin Campbell-Kelly is Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at the University of Warwick.

• Cellular Networks - Positioning, Performance Analysis, Reliability

  Wireless cellular networks are an integral part of modern telecommunication systems. The book focuses on three types of problems in Cellular Networks: Positioning, Performance Analysis and Reliability.

• Towards 5G Wireless Networks - A Physical Layer Perspective

  This book intends to provide highlights of the current research topics in the field of 5G and to offer a snapshot of the recent advances and major issues faced today by the researchers in the 5G physical layer perspective.

• Cellular Automata And Complexity (Stephen Wolfram)

  This volume seems to be interesting for computer scientists, especially for those engaged in parallelization, and for physicists and chemists having to discover the basic rules of complex systems (by cellular computer simulation)

• Evolution of Parallel Cellular Machines: Cellular Programming

  This self-contained volume examines the behavior of Parallel Cellular Machines, the complex computation they exhibit, and the application of artificial evolution to attain such systems. It explores the issue of constructing man-made systems.

• The Cellular Automaton Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

  This book presents the deterministic view of quantum mechanics developed by Nobel Laureate Gerard 't Hooft. The author gives examples of models that are classical in essence, but can be analysed by the use of quantum techniques.

• Foundations of Machine Learning (Mehryar Mohri, et al)

  This book is a general introduction to machine learning. It covers fundamental modern topics in machine learning while providing the theoretical basis and conceptual tools needed for the discussion and justification of algorithms.
