This book provides a systematic introduction to the fundamental concepts, major challenges, and effective solutions for Quality of Service in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Unlike other books on the topic, it focuses on the networking aspects of WSNs, discussing the most important networking issues, including network architecture design, medium access control, routing and data dissemination, node clustering, node localization, query processing, data aggregation, transport and quality of service, time synchronization, and network security. Featuring contributions from researchers, this book strikes a balance between fundamental concepts and new technologies, providing readers with unprecedented insights into WSNs from a networking perspective. It is essential reading for a broad audience, including academics, research engineers, and practitioners, particularly postgraduate/postdoctoral researchers and engineers in industry. It is also suitable as a textbook or supplementary reading for graduate computer engineering and computer science courses.

The authors have consolidated their research work in this volume titled Soft Computing for Data Mining Applications. The monograph gives an insight into the research in the ?elds of Data Mining in combination with Soft Computing methodologies. In these days, the data continues to grow - ponentially. Much of the data is implicitly or explicitly imprecise. Database discovery seeks to discover noteworthy, unrecognized associations between the data items in the existing database. The potential of discovery comes from the realization that alternate contexts may reveal additional valuable information. The rate at which the data is storedis growing at a phenomenal rate. Asaresult, traditionaladhocmixturesofstatisticaltechniquesanddata managementtools are no longer adequate for analyzing this vast collection of data.

E?cient tools and algorithms for knowledge discovery in large data sets have been devised during the recent years. These methods exploit the ca- bility of computers to search huge amounts of data in a fast and e?ective manner. However, the data to be analyzed is imprecise and a?icted with - certainty. In the case of heterogeneous data sources such as text and video, the data might moreover be ambiguous and partly con?icting. Besides, p- terns and relationships of interest are usually approximate.

Professor K Venkatagiri Gowda was an incisive thinker par excellence. His economic analyses of the budget were very much valued by the economists and administrator in India. His work has been internationally recognized as crucial and ground-breaking in the field of monetary economics, international finance and planning. He has received the Lord Leverhulme special Research Award, London School of Economics, 1935-55, and the Karnataka Rajotsava Award in 1983. The book is collection of 83 articles written by Professor Gowda which provide solutions to myriad of economic problems of India.

The first generation networks built before the emergence of fiber optics and the second generation networks which used fiber as a replacement for copper links in Local Area network (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) are not adequate to meet the emerging integrated demands of the communication applications. Huge bandwidth must be provided to support applications such as super-computer interconnect, videoconferencing, etc., co-existing with smaller bandwidth requirements of data, audio, and many other applications for thousands of end-users. Wavelength Converters in Optical Networks deals with the third generation networks that use Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), wavelength routed optical networking technology. This technology can efficiently utilize the enormous bandwidth of the optical fiber and has been able to meet the emerging integrated demands of the communication applications Key Features WDMA network architecture models have been presented The literature is supported and explained through diagrams and tables wherever required for the benefit of the students Simulation studies in the 12-node ring network, 28-node USA long hand network, 14-node NSFNET, 19-node European Optical Network (EON), 30-node INET network and 52-node arbitrary mesh network have been presented. Motivation for the present work and the organization of thesis has been outlined. Research activity in network topology recon figuration, issues in fault tolerances, and the objectives of various test beds in progress have been presented Last chapter presents the summary and contribution of the world

The present treatise spread in 67 contributions from the experts deals with the following topics: Information Processing and Pattern Recognition Computer Communication Networks Hardware and Optimization Data Mining Software Engineering Distributed Systems Biomedical Informatics Soft Computing

The proceedings feature several key-note papers in the areas of advanced information processing tools. This area has been recognized to be one of the five key technologies poised to shape modern society in the next decade. It aptly focuses on the tools and techniques for the development of Information Systems.
