GPRS is now an established technology allowing packet-data access to the internet and intranets and it is expected that consumer demand for the service will continue to increase, especially when the higher data rates are made available.

All IP in 3G CDMA Networks covers all the key aspects of UMTS and its implementation from both the engineering designer and the operator and service providers’ point of view. It addresses the essential tasks involved in the UMTS network deployment in new regions and within existing 2G/2.5G networks.

The annual Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) conference is the flagship meeting on neural computation and machine learning. It draws a diverse group of attendees — physicists, neuroscientists, mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists — interested in theoretical and applied aspects of modeling, simulating, and building neural-like or intelligent systems.

Computer-Controlled Systems with Delay is a systematic study of the problems of analysis and synthesis for multidimensional sampled-data (SD) systems with delay. It is based on the frequency polynomial method, in which the concept of a parametric transfer matrix (PTM) plays a key role. Until now, no alternative general methods have been available to solve the above problems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th Annual International Symposium on Information Management and Big Data, SIMBig 2017, held in Lima, Peru, in September 2017.

Many different fractal dimensions have been proposed for networks. In A Survey of Fractal Dimensions of Networks the theory and computation of the most important of these dimensions are reviewed, including the box counting dimension, the correlation dimension, the mass dimension, the transfinite fractal dimension, the information dimension, the generalized dimensions (which provide a way to describe multifractals), and the sandbox method (for approximating the generalized dimensions).

Modelling and performance analysis play an important role in the design of computer communication system. The book is designed for a one-semester course for senior-year undergraduate and graduate engineering students.
