As the Internet has grown, so have the challenges associated with delivering static, streaming, and dynamic content to end-users. This book is unique in that it addresses the topic of content networking exclusively and comprehensively, tracing the evolution from traditional web caching to today's open and vastly more flexible architecture. With this evolutionary approach, the authors emphasize the field's most persistent concepts, principles, and mechanisms--the core information that will help you understand why and how content delivery works today, and apply that knowledge in the future.
+ Focuses on the principles that will give you a deep and timely understanding of content networking.
+ Offers dozens of protocol-specific examples showing how real-life Content Networks are currently designed and implemented.
+ Provides extensive consideration of Content Services, including both the Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) and Open Pluggable Edge Services (OPES).
+ Examines methods for supporting time-constrained media such as streaming audio and video and real-time media such as instant messages.
+ Combines the vision and rigor of a prominent researcher with the practical experience of a seasoned development engineer to provide a unique combination of theoretical depth and practical application.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich BWL - Marketing, Unternehmenskommunikation, CRM, Marktforschung, Social Media, Note: 1,7, Hochschule fur Angewandte Wissenschaften Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Schwerpunkte der Arbeit sind: B2B, Investitionsguter, Investitionsgutermarketing, Definition von Innovation und Innovationsgrade, Unternehmen im technologischen Wandel, Kauferverhalten, Adoption und Diffusion bei B2B-Innovationen, Innovationsstrategien und Innovationserfolg, Innovationswiderstande und deren Uberwindung, Innovationsmarketing, Markenpolitik fur Innovationen Eine Idee und harte Arbeit sind die Grundlagen fur eine erfolgreiche Innovation, sie alleine sichern allerdings nicht den Innovationserfolg. Auch Misserfolge und Ruckschlage gehoren zum nnovationsprozess(vgl. Cooper, 2003, S. 166ff.). Deswegen ist ein wesentliches Ziel dieser Arbeit die Darstellung einer erfolgreichen Vermarktung von B2B-Innovationen. Um dies zu erreichen, muss zuerst die Frage nach einer Innovation im betriebswirtschaftlichen Sinne geklart werden, und welche Formen von Innovationen es gibt. Ausserdem soll gezeigt werden, wie eine sinnvolle Abgrenzung zwischen den technologischen Sprungen von Entwicklungen gemacht, und woran diese erkannt werden konnen. Neben der Frage, welche Erfolgsgrossen es fur Unternehmen in Bezug auf Innovationen gibt und durch welche Instrumente ein Unternehmen uberhaupt einen Innovationsbedarf erkennen kann, sollen Fragen nach den Turbulenzen bzw. Gefahren eines innovierenden Unternehmens und eines potenziellen Abnehmers dieser Innovationen in der Branche beantwortetet werden.Ein elementarer Teil dieser Arbeit wird sich mit dem industriellen Beschaffungsverhalten und dessen Beeinflussbarkeit in Bezug auf Innovationen beschaftigen, aber ebenso mit der Annahme und Verbreitung sowie evtl. Widerstanden gegenuber von Innovationen und deren Auflosung.Im weiteren Verlauf der Arbeit ist dann der Frage nachzugehen, welche Strategien innovierende Unterneh
