The second in the Women Securing the Future with TIPPSS series,
this book provides insight and expert advice from seventeen women
leaders in technology, healthcare and policy to address the
challenges of Trust, Identity, Privacy, Protection, Safety and
Security (TIPPSS) for connected healthcare, and the growing
Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) ecosystem. The ten chapters in
this book delve into trust, security and privacy risks in connected
healthcare for patients, medical devices, personal and clinical
data, healthcare providers and institutions, and provide practical
approaches to manage and protect the data, devices, and humans.
Cybersecurity, technology and legal experts discuss risks, from
data and device hacks to ransomware, and propose approaches to
address the challenges including new frameworks for architecting
and evaluating medical device and connected hospital cybersecurity.
We all need to be aware of the TIPPSS challenges in connected
healthcare, and we call upon engineers, device manufacturers,
system developers and healthcare providers to ensure trust and
manage the risk. Featuring contributions from prominent female
experts and role models in technology, cybersecurity, engineering,
computer science, data science, business, healthcare,
accessibility, research, law, privacy and policy, this book sets
the stage to improve security and safety in our increasingly
connected world.
This book gives a review of the principles, methods and techniques
of important and emerging research topics and technologies in
Channel Coding, including theory, algorithms, and applications.
Edited by leading people in the field who, through their
reputation, have been able to commission experts to write on a
particular topic. With this reference source you will: Quickly
grasp a new area of research Understand the underlying principles
of a topic and its applications Ascertain how a topic relates to
other areas and learn of the research issues yet to be resolved
Autonomic networking aims to solve the mounting problems created by
increasingly complex networks, by enabling devices and
service-providers to decide, preferably without human intervention,
what to do at any given moment, and ultimately to create
self-managing networks that can interface with each other, adapting
their behavior to provide the best service to the end-user in all
situations. This book gives both an understanding and an assessment
of the principles, methods and architectures in autonomous network
management, as well as lessons learned from, the ongoing
initiatives in the field. It includes contributions from industry
groups at Orange Labs, Motorola, Ericsson, the ANA EU Project and
leading universities. These groups all provide chapters examining
the international research projects to which they are contributing,
such as the EU Autonomic Network Architecture Project and Ambient
Networks EU Project, reviewing current developments and
demonstrating how autonomic management principles are used to
define new architectures, models, protocols, and mechanisms for
future network equipment.
With the advent of wavelength routing and dynamic, reconfigurable
optical networks, new demands are being made in the design and
operation of optical amplifiers. This book provides, for the first
time, a comprehensive review of optical amplifier technology in the
context of these recent advances in the field. It demonstrates how
to manage the trade-offs between amplifier design, network
architecture and system management and operation. The book provides
an overview of optical amplifiers and reconfigurable networks
before examining in greater detail the issues of importance to
network operators and equipment manufacturers, including 40G and
100G transmission. Optical amplifier design is fully considered,
focusing on fundamentals, design solutions and amplifier
performance limitations. Finally, the book discusses other emerging
applications for optical amplifiers such as optical networks for
high data rate systems, free space systems, long single span links
and optical digital networks. This book will be of great value to
R&D engineers, network and systems engineers,
telecommunications service providers, component suppliers, industry
analysts, network operators, postgraduate students, academics and
anyone seeking to understand emerging trends in optical networks
and the consequent changes in optical amplifier design, features
and applications.
The communication field is evolving rapidly in order to keep up

data communication applications. Featuring extensive coverage
across a range of relevant perspectives and topics, such as
satellite communication, cognitive radio networks, and wireless
sensor networks, this book is ideally designed for engineers,
professionals, practitioners, upper-level students, and academics
seeking current information on emerging communication networking
trends.
