Adoption of Bluetooth wireless technology has become ubiquitous in
the last few years. One of the biggest steps forward is the
standardization of Java APIs for Bluetooth wireless technology
(JABWT). The latest updates to this standard is explained in detail
in this book. The JABWT standard, defined by the JSR-82 Java
Specification Request, supports rapid development of Bluetooth
applications that are portable, secure, and highly-usable. Wireless
device manufacturers have responded overwhelmingly to the JABWT
specification by implementing JABWT applications in mobile phones
and other personal wireless communications products.
"Bluetooth Application Programming Essentials: Programming with the
Java APIs" explains in detail how to write Bluetooth applications
using the Java APIs to exploit the power of both technologies.
Written by the specification lead for JSR-82 and two other key
participants in developing the standards of JABWT, this book
provides the authoritative explanations and concrete examples
needed to get started right away.
This book provides embedded Java developers with to-the-point
information on the APIs in the specification with detailed
programmatic examples of the APIs in use. A NEW chapter on the Push
Registry definition (a new feature in the 1.1 version of JSR-82)
has been added. Finally, the new Essentials version of the book
will update the remaining chapters to reflect changes in the latest
Bluetooth spec (2.1) and the industry as a whole.
As a bonus, this edition of the book offers over 200 pages of added
content on the website. This "bonus material" includes complete
source code from examples in the book, the javex.bluetooth code
package, the java.obex code package, an enhanced set of "Example
Applications," and a tutorial on "Implementing JABWT on a Device."
These code-heavy sections are actually more effective in electonic
format where the application can be easily downloaded.

implementing the Java APIs specification, the book allows
developers to identify with the text and encourages repeated
reference.
In designing a network device, you make dozens of decisions that
affect the speed with which it will perform sometimes for better,
but sometimes for worse. Network Algorithmics provides a complete,
coherent methodology for maximizing speed while meeting your other
design goals.
Author George Varghese begins by laying out the implementation
bottlenecks that are most often encountered at four disparate
levels of implementation: protocol, OS, hardware, and architecture.
He then derives 15 solid principles ranging from the commonly
recognized to the groundbreaking that are key to breaking these
bottlenecks.
The rest of the book is devoted to a systematic application of
these principles to bottlenecks found specifically in endnodes,
interconnect devices, and specialty functions such as security and
measurement that can be located anywhere along the network. This
immensely practical, clearly presented information will benefit
anyone involved with network implementation, as well as students
who have made this work their goal.

In 1994, W. Richard Stevens and Addison-Wesley published a
networking classic: TCP/IP Illustrated. The model for that book was
a brilliant, unfettered approach to networking concepts that has
proven itself over time to be popular with readers of beginning to
intermediate networking knowledge. The Illustrated Network takes
this time-honored approach and modernizes it by creating not only a
much larger and more complicated network, but also by incorporating
all the networking advancements that have taken place since the
mid-1990s, which are many.
This book takes the popular Stevens approach and modernizes it,
employing 2008 equipment, operating systems, and router vendors. It
presents an ?illustrated? explanation of how TCP/IP works with
consistent examples from a real, working network configuration that
includes servers, routers, and workstations. Diagnostic traces
allow the reader to follow the discussion with unprecedented
clarity and precision. True to the title of the book, there are
330+ diagrams and screen shots, as well as topology diagrams and a
unique repeating chapter opening diagram. Illustrations are also
used as end-of-chapter questions. A complete and modern network was
assembled to write this book, with all the material coming from
real objects connected and running on the network, not assumptions.
Presents a real world networking scenario the way the reader sees
them in a device-agnostic world. Doesn't preach one platform or the

sharp focus.
Cryptology is the practice of hiding digital information by means
of various obfuscatory and steganographic techniques. The
application of said techniques facilitates message confidentiality
and sender/receiver identity authentication, and helps to ensure
the integrity and security of computer passwords, ATM card
information, digital signatures, DVD and HDDVD content, and
electronic commerce. Cryptography is also central to digital rights
management (DRM), a group of techniques for technologically
controlling the use of copyrighted material that is being widely
implemented and deployed at the behest of corporations that own and
create revenue from the hundreds of thousands of mini-transactions
that take place daily on programs like iTunes.
This new edition of our best-selling book on cryptography and
information hiding delineates a number of different methods to hide
information in all types of digital media files. These methods
include encryption, compression, data embedding and watermarking,
data mimicry, and scrambling. During the last 5 years, the
continued advancement and exponential increase of computer
processing power have enhanced the efficacy and scope of electronic
espionage and content appropriation. Therefore, this edition has
amended and expanded outdated sections in accordance with new
dangers, and includes 5 completely new chapters that introduce
newer more sophisticated and refined cryptographic algorithms and
techniques (such as fingerprinting, synchronization, and
quantization) capable of withstanding the evolved forms of attack.
Each chapter is divided into sections, first providing an
introduction and high-level summary for those who wish to
understand theconcepts without wading through technical
explanations, and then presenting concrete examples and greater
detail for those who want to write their own programs. This
combination of practicality and theory allows programmers and
system designers to not only implement tried and true encryption
procedures, but also consider probable future developments in their
designs, thus fulfilling the need for preemptive caution that is
becoming ever more explicit as the transference of digital media
escalates.
* Includes 5 completely new chapters that delineate the most
current and sophisticated cryptographic algorithms, allowing
readers to protect their information against even the most evolved
electronic attacks.
* Conceptual tutelage in conjunction with detailed mathematical
directives allows the reader to not only understand encryption
procedures, but also to write programs which anticipate future
security developments in their design.
* Grants the reader access to online source code which can be used
to directly implement proven cryptographic procedures such as data
mimicry and reversible grammar generation into their own work.
The networking capabilities of the Java platform have been extended
considerably since the first edition of the book. This new edition
covers version 1.5-1.7, the most current iterations, as well as
making the following improvements:
The API (application programming interface) reference sections in
each chapter, which describe the relevant parts of each class, have
been replaced with (i) a summary section that lists the classes and
methods used in the code, and (ii) a ?gotchas? section that
mentions nonobvious or poorly-documented aspects of the objects.
In addition, the book covers several new classes and capabilities
introduced in the last few revisions of the Java platform. New
abstractions to be covered include NetworkInterface,
InterfaceAddress, Inet4/6Address, SocketAddress/InetSocketAddress,
Executor, and others; extended access to low-level network
information; support for IPv6; more complete access to socket
options; and scalable I/O. The example code is also modified to
take advantage of new language features such as annotations,
enumerations, as well as generics and implicit iterators where
appropriate.
Most Internet applications use sockets to implement network
communication protocols. This book's focused, tutorial-based
approach helps the reader master the tasks and techniques essential
to virtually all client-server projects using sockets in Java.
Chapter 1 provides a genral overview of networking concepts to
allow readers to synchronize the concepts with terminology. Chapter
2 introduces the mechanics of simple clients and servers. Chapter 3
covers basic message construction and parsing. Chapter 4 then deals
with techniques used to build more robust clients and servers.
Chapter 5 (NEW) introduces the scalable interface facilities which
were introduced in Java 1.5, including the buffer and channel
abstractions. Chapter 6 discusses the relationship between the
programming constructs and the underlying protocol implementations
in more detail. Programming concepts are introduced through simple
program examples accompanied by line-by-line code commentary that
describes the purpose of every part of the program. The book's Web
site contains many examples of command-based sockets-related code
discussed throughout the book. No other resource presents so
concisely or so effectively the material necessary to get up and
running with Java sockets programming.
KEY FEATURES
* Focused, tutorial-based instruction in key sockets programming
techniques allows reader to quickly come up to speed on Java
applications.
* Concise and up-to-date coverage of the most recent platform (1.7)
for Java
applications in networking technology
* Provides code for all example programs via a companion Web site
to let the reader see the important objects and methods in context
and to understand the purpose of each line of code.
Traditionally, networking has had little or no basis in analysis or
architectural development, with designers relying on technologies
they are most familiar with or being influenced by vendors or
consultants. However, the landscape of networking has changed so
that network services have now become one of the most important
factors to the success of many third generation networks. It has
become an important feature of the designer's job to define the
problems that exist in his network, choose and analyze several
optimization parameters during the analysis process, and then
prioritize and evaluate these parameters in the architecture and
design of the system.
Network Analysis, Architecture, and Design, 3e, uses a systems
methodology approach to teaching these concepts, which views the
network (and the environment it impacts) as part of the larger
system, looking at interactions and dependencies between the
network and its users, applications, and devices. This approach
matches the new business climate where customers drive the
development of new services and the book discusses how networks can
be architected and designed to provide many different types of
services to customers. With a number of examples, analogies,
instructor tips, and exercises, this book works through the
processes of analysis, architecture, and design step by step,
giving designers a solid resource for making good design decisions.
With examples, guidelines, and general principles McCabe
illuminates how a network begins as a concept, is built with
addressing protocol, routing, and management, and harmonizes with
the interconnected technology around it. Other topics covered in
the book are learning to recognize problems in initial design,
analyzing optimization parameters, and then prioritizing these
parameters and incorporating them into the architecture and design
of the system. This is an essential book for any professional that
will be designing or working with a network on a routine basis.
*Substantially updated design content includes ad hoc networks,
GMPLS, IPv6, and mobile networking
*Written by an expert in the field that has designed several
large-scale networks for government agencies, universities, and
corporations
*Incorporates real-life ideas and experiences of many expert
designers along with case studies and end-of-chapter exercises

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF CONTENT:
There is a significant need for a comprehensive book addressing the
operational and day-to-day security management requirements. IM,
used in enterprise networks can easily be reconfigured and allow
for potentially nonstop exposure; they require the level of
security be scrutinized carefully. This includes inherent security
flaws in various network architectures that result in additional
risks to otherwise secure converged networks. A few books cover
components of the architecture, design, theory, issues, challenges,
and recommended policies for IM security, but none of them address
IM issues in a manner that is useful for the day-to-day operations
and management of enterprise networks. IM Security is intended to
bridge this gap.
UNIQUE FEATURE/RATIONALE
There are no current books that cover components of the
architecture, design, theory, issues, challenges, and recommended
policies for IM security. No book we know of addresses IM security
in a manner useful for day-to-day operations and management of
IM-capable networks in today s corporate environment.
* Up-to-date coverage of architecture, design, theory, issues,
challenges, and recommended policies for IM security.
* Addresses IM security for day-to-day operations and management of
IM-capable networks in today s corporate environment"
This book contains everything you need to make your application
program support IPv6. IPv6 socket APIs (RFC2553) are fully
described with real-world examples. It covers security, a great
concern these days. To secure the Internet infrastructure, every
developer has to take a security stance - to audit every line of
code, to use proper API and write correct and secure code as much
as possible. To achieve this goal, the examples presented in this
book are implemented with a security stance. Also, the book leads
you to write secure programs. For instance, the book recommends
against the use of some of the IPv6 standard APIs - unfortunately,
there are some IPv6 APIs that are inherently insecure, so the book
tries to avoid (and discourage) the use of such APIs. Another key
issue is portability. The examples in the book should be applicable
to any of UNIX based operating systems, MacOS X, and Windows XP.
* Covers the new protocol just adopted by the Dept of Defense for
future systems
* Deals with security concerns, including spam and email, by
presenting the best programming standards
* Fully describes IPv6 socket APIs (RFC2553) using real-world
examples
* Allows for portability to UNIX-based operating systems, MacOS X,
and Windows XP
Information processing in sensor networks is a rapidly emerging
area of computer science and electrical engineering research.
Because of advances in micro-sensors, wireless networking and
embedded processing, ad hoc networks of sensor are becoming
increasingly available for commercial, military, and homeland

habitat, security), industrail sensing and diagnostics (e.g.,
factory, appliances), infrastructures (i.e., power grid, water
distribution, waste disposal) and battle awareness (e.g.,
multi-target tracking). This book introduces practitioners to the
fundamental issues and technology constraints concerning various
aspects of sensor networks such as information organization,
querying, routing, and self-organization using concrete examples
and does so by using concrete examples from current research and
implementation efforts.
.Written for practitioners, researchers, and students and relevant
to all application areas, including environmental monitoring,
industrial sensing and diagnostics, automotive and transportation,
security and surveillance, military and battlefield uses, and
large-scale infrastructural maintenance.

Adoption of Bluetooth wireless technology has made great strides in
the last few years. One of the biggest steps forward the
standardization of Java APIs for Bluetooth wireless technology
(JABWT) is explained in detail in this book. The JABWT standard,
defined by the JSR-82 specification, supports rapid development of
Bluetooth applications that are portable, secure, and
highly-usable. Wireless device manufacturers have responded to the
JABWT specification by announcing mobile phones and other products
that will run JABWT applications. Bluetooth Application Programming
with the Java APIs explains in detail how to write Bluetooth
applications using the Java APIs to exploit the power of both
technologies. Written by the specification lead for JSR-82 and two
other key participants in the definition of JABWT, this book
provides the authoritative explanations and concrete examples you
need to get started right away.

Policy-Based Network Management (PBNM) systems enable business
rules and procedures to be translated into policies that configure
and control the network and its services. Those who manage network
systems are aware that this approach can benefit both network
management as well as the development of applications that use
network services; however, the details surrounding these systems
has been obscured by marketing hype, numerous acronyms, and
theoretical complexities.
Policy-Based Network Management: Solutions for the Next Generation
cuts through the hype surrounding PBNM and makes it approachable
for those who really need to understand what it has to offer. The
author, founder of the IETF Policy Framework working group,
discusses system requirements, information models, and system
components for Policy-Based Management. He also provide
practitioners with a resource for developing and/or incorporating
PBNM systems. As network systems become larger and more complex,
creating policies for them has become a crucial step in the
management of network systems, and this book is a welcome addition
to this exciting approach.
* Presents a completely new approach to PBNM that unites the
business, system, and implementation spheres.
* As the basis for examples and discussion, uses the DEN-ng
information model, an easy-to-understand open standard tied closely
to eTOM and NGOSS.
* Introduces the Ponder system, then examines Ponder extensions
designed to enhance the structure of high-level policies and their
application in a PBNM system.
* Filled with examples illustrating how policies are most
effectively used in a PBNM system and what new directions PBNM is
likely to take.
With over 30,000 copies sold in previous editions, this fourth
edition of TCP/IP Clearly Explained stands out more than ever. You
still get a practical, thorough exploration of TCP/IP networking,
presented in plain language, that will benefit newcomers and
veterans alike. The coverage has been updated, however, to reflect
new and continuing technological changes, including the Stream
Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), the Blocks architecture for
application protocols, and the Transport Layer Security Protocol
(TLS).
The improvements go far beyond the updated material: they also
include an all-new approach that examines the TCP/IP protocol stack
from the top down, beginning with the applications you may already
understand and only then moving deeper to the protocols that make
these applications possible. You also get a helpful overview of the
"life" of an Internet packet, covering all its movements from
inception to final disposition.
If you're looking for nothing more than information on the
protocols comprising TCP/IP networking, there are plenty of books
to choose from. If you want to understand TCP/IP networking-why the
protocols do what they do, how they allow applications to be
extended, and how changes in the environment necessitate changes to
the protocols-there's only the one you hold in your hands.
* Explains-clearly and holistically, but without
oversimplification-the core protocols that make the global Internet
possible.
* Fully updated to cover emerging technologies that are critical to
the present and future of the Internet.
* Takes a top-down approach that begins with the familiar
application layer, then proceeds to the protocols underlying it,
devoting attention to each layer's specifics.
* Divided into organized, easy-to-follow sections on the concepts
and fundamentals of networking, Internet applications, transport
protocols, the Internet layer and infrastructure, and practical
internetworking.
"Multicast Sockets: Practical Guide for Programmers" is a hands-on,
application-centric approach to multicasting (as opposed to a
network-centric one) that is filled with examples, ideas, and
experimentation. Each example builds on the last to introduce
multicast concepts, frameworks, and APIs in an engaging manner that
does not burden the reader with lots of theory and jargon. The book
is an introduction to multicasting but assumes that the reader has

High-Performance Data Network Design contains comprehensive
coverage of network design, performance, and availability. Tony
Kenyon provides the tools to solve medium- to large-scale data
network design problems from the ground up. He lays out a practical
and systematic approach that integrates network planning, research,
design, and deployment, using state-of-the-art techniques in
performance analysis, cost analysis, simulation, and topology
modeling.
The proliferation and complexity of data networks today is
challenging our ability to design and manage them effectively. A
new generation of Internet, e-commerce, and multimedia applications
has changed traditional assumptions on traffic dynamics, and
demands tight quality of service and security guarantees. These
issues, combined with the economics of moving large traffic volumes
across international backbones, mean that the demands placed on
network designers, planners, and managers are now greater than ever
before. High-Performance Data Network Design is a "must have" for
anyone seriously involved in designing data networks. Together with
the companion volume, Data Networks: Routing, Security, and
Performance Optimization, this book gives readers the guidance they
need to plan, implement, and optimize their enterprise
infrastructure.

For companies in and around the telecommunications field, the past
few years have been a time of extraordinary change-technologically
and legally. The enacting of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and
the development of international trade agreements have
fundamentally changed the environment in which your business
operates, creating risks, responsibilities, and opportunities that
were not there before.
Until now, you'd have had a hard time finding a serious business
book that offered any more than a cursory glance at this
transformed world. But at last there's a resource you can depend on
for in-depth analysis and sound advice. Written in
easy-to-understand language, "Telecommunications Law in the
Internet Age" systematically examines the complex
interrelationships of new laws, new technologies, and new business
practices, and equips you with the practical understanding you need
to run your enterprise optimally within today's legal
boundaries.
* Offers authoritative coverage from a lawyer and
telecommunications authority who has been working in the field for
over three decades.
* Examines telecommunications law in the U.S., at both the federal
and state level.
* Presents an unparalleled source of information on international
trade regulations and their effects on the industry.
* Covers the modern telecommunications issues with which most
companies are grappling: wireless communication, e-commerce,
satellite systems, privacy and encryption, Internet taxation,
export controls, intellectual property, spamming, pornography,
Internet telephony, extranets, and more.
* Provides guidelines for preventing inadvertent violations of
telecommunications law.
* Offers guidance on fending off legal and illegal attacks by
hackers, competitors, and foreign governments.
* Helps you do more than understand and obey the law: helps you
thrive within it.
The Internet Security Guidebook provides a complete analysis of an
enterprise's Internet security. Strategies, steps, and procedures
for conducting business securely on the Internet are discussed and
reviewed. Very few organizations take the needed precautions to
protect their Internet enterprise. Protection is not simply a
firewall or technology; it is a strategy that encompasses risk,
trust, business goals, security processes, and technology. The
holistic approach offered in this book evaluates security needs in
relation to business goals and the current attacks on the global
Internet. The goal of The Internet Security Guidebook is to protect
the business-computing environment by keeping our online
enterprises functioning correctly and securely.
Unlike other books available, this book contains a complete guide
to Internet security that is accessible to both novices and
computer professionals. The specific steps discussed and
illustrated show the reader how to implement security from the
individual process to the complete corporate enterprise. The reader
will also learn about resources that can help such as the Computer
Emergency Response Team (CERT), the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI), and even their own software vendors.
