Internet Congestion Control provides a description of some of the
most important topics in the area of congestion control in computer
networks, with special emphasis on the analytical modeling of
congestion control algorithms. The field of congestion control has
seen many notable advances in recent years and the purpose of this
book, which is targeted towards the advanced and intermediate
reader, is to inform about the most important developments in this
area. The book should enable the reader to gain a good
understanding of the application of congestion control theory to a
number of application domains such as Data Center Networks, Video
Streaming, High Speed Links and Broadband Wireless Networks. When
seen through the lens of analytical modeling, there are a number of
common threads that run through the design and analysis of
congestion control protocols in all these different areas, which
are emphasized in this book. The book also cuts a path through the
profusion of algorithms in the literature, and puts the topic on a
systematic and logical footing. Internet Congestion Control
provides practicing network engineers and researchers with a
comprehensive and accessible coverage of analytical models of
congestion control algorithms, and gives readers everything needed
to understand the latest developments and research in this area.
We are living in interesting times characterized by increasing
digitalization of business enterprises in a global interconnected
knowledge economy. With waning euphoria about the first wave of
digital e-business enterprises and a sobering dot-com stock market,
business model innovation is being recognized as the key enabler
that can unleash value creation for new digital enterprises. In
contrast to traditional factors of production, knowledge assets and
intellectual capital are expected to play a dominant role in
determining both valuation and value-creation capabilities of most
new age enterprises. Not surprisingly, Knowledge Management for
Business Model Innovation is anticipated to be the mantra for
survival, competence and success of Net enterprises as well as
traditional brick-and-mortar enterprises faced with the challenge
of transforming their business models into and beyond
click-and-mortar companies.
