Book Description

This book describes different aspects of knowledge-based networks and is both important and timely for future Internet/mobile-based information networks. This book combines Artificial Intelligence, service-based systems and distributed knowledge management.

It hopes to give a broad overview and introduction to various aspects of related networks, describing existing mechanisms for representing and using such systems.

After reading this book the reader should have a good idea of the sort of systems and algorithms that can be used to organise and use knowledge in today's world and where we might be going to in the future. The second half of the book will discuss some research ideas in the area of self-organisation and reasoning.

The research will propose different levels of reasoning that can be performed over an information network, or a neural-like network and will ultimately offer an architecture that will allow the network to 'think'.

The book is listed on the ACM citation portal.

  Illustrated throughout in full colour, this pioneering textbook, spanning a wide range of topics from physics to computer science, engineering, economics and the social sciences, introduces network science to an interdisciplinary audience.

• Mobile Edge Computing (Yan Zhang)

  This open access book offers comprehensive, self-contained knowledge on Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), which is a very promising technology for achieving intelligence in the next-generation wireless communications and computing networks.

• Introduction to Networking: How the Internet Works

  This book demystifies the amazing architecture and protocols of computers as they communicate over the Internet. While very complex, the Internet operates on a few relatively simple concepts that anyone can understand.

• Computer Networks: Performance and Quality of Service

  This book opinions modern computer CPA networks with a particular give attention to performance and quality of support, focuses on basic concepts that are attractive to practitioners interested in the actual "whys" behind encountered networking engineering.

• Introduction to Networking Technologies (Burnie Blakeley)

  This book describes a sampling of technologies of various types, by using a tutorial approach. It compares the technologies available in the three major technology areas: application support, transport networks, and subnetworking.

• Networking Services: QoS, Signaling, Processes (Harry Perros)

  This book has been structured around the Next Generation Network (NGN) framework, which separates the transport network, services, and signaling protocols into the service stratum and the transport stratum.
