This handbook introduces the basic principles and fundamentals of
cyber security towards establishing an understanding of how to
protect computers from hackers and adversaries. The highly
informative subject matter of this handbook, includes various
concepts, models, and terminologies along with examples and
illustrations to demonstrate substantial technical details of the
field. It motivates the readers to exercise better protection and
defense mechanisms to deal with attackers and mitigate the
situation. This handbook also outlines some of the exciting areas
of future research where the existing approaches can be
implemented. Exponential increase in the use of computers as a
means of storing and retrieving security-intensive information,
requires placement of adequate security measures to safeguard the
entire computing and communication scenario. With the advent of
Internet and its underlying technologies, information security
aspects are becoming a prime concern towards protecting the
networks and the cyber ecosystem from variety of threats, which is
illustrated in this handbook. This handbook primarily targets
professionals in security, privacy and trust to use and improve the
reliability of businesses in a distributed manner, as well as
computer scientists and software developers, who are seeking to
carry out research and develop software in information and cyber
security. Researchers and advanced-level students in computer
science will also benefit from this reference.
Security, privacy, and trust in the Internet of Things (IoT) and
CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems) are different from conventional
security as concerns revolve around the collection and aggregation
of data or transmission of data over the network. Analysis of
cyber-attack vectors and the provision of appropriate mitigation
techniques are essential research areas for these systems. Adoption
of best practices and maintaining a balance between ease of use and
security are, again, crucial for the effective performance of these
systems. Recent Advances in Security, Privacy and Trust for
Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) discusses
and presents techniques and methodologies, as well as a wide range
of examples and illustrations, to effectively show the principles,
algorithms, challenges, and applications of security, privacy, and
trust for IoT and CPS. Book features: Introduces new directions for
research, development, and engineering security, privacy, and trust
of IoT and CPS Includes a wealth of examples and illustrations to
effectively demonstrate the principles, algorithms, challenges, and
applications Covers most of the important security aspects and
current trends not present in other reference books This book will
also serve as an excellent reference in security, privacy, and
trust of IoT and CPS for professionals in this fast-evolving and
critical field. The chapters present high-quality contributions
from researchers, academics, and practitioners from various
national and international organizations and universities.
The focus of this study is the economic performance of East Asia
since the 1960s. It looks at the common forces, generated by each
country's policies, that jointly produced successful outcomes. The
roles of macroeconomic and microeconomic factors are analysed. For
comparison, the same framework is used to examine the less
successful performance of the Indian economy. The analysis
emphasises the significance of the overall institutional context in
which policies are implemented in determining their effectiveness.
Today, cloud computing, big data, and the internet of things (IoT)

manufacturing, and management. Therefore, it is critical to remain
up-to-date on the latest advancements and applications, as well as
current issues and challenges. The Handbook of Research on Cloud
Computing and Big Data Applications in IoT is a pivotal reference
source that provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest
empirical research findings on principles, challenges, and
applications of cloud computing, big data, and IoT. While
highlighting topics such as fog computing, language interaction,
and scheduling algorithms, this publication is ideally designed for

Optical fiber telecommunications depend upon light traveling great
distances through optical fibers. As light travels it tends to
disperse and this results in some degree of signal loss. Raman
amplification is a technique that is effective in any fiber to
amplify the signal light as it travels through transmission fibers,
compensating for inevitable signal loss.
* First comprehensive guide to Raman amplification, a technique
whose use has exploded since 1997 in order to upgrade fiber
capacity;
* Accessible to professionals just entering the field of optical
fiber telecommunications;
* Detailed enough for experts to use as a reference.
"This book provides a comprehensive account of fiber-optic
communication systems. The 3rd edition of this book is used
worldwide as a textbook in many universities. This 4th edition
incorporates recent advances that have occurred, in particular two
new chapters. One deals with the advanced modulation formats (such
as DPSK, QPSK, and QAM) that are increasingly being used for
improving spectral efficiency of WDM lightwave systems. The second
chapter focuses on new techniques such as all-optical regeneration
that are under development and likely to be used in future
communication systems. All other chapters are updated, as well."--
This book provides a comparative picture of the restructuring
experiences of five Asian economies: South Korea, Singapore,
Indonesia, Thailand and India. In the case of Indonesia and

and in the case of South Korea and Singapore, the emphasis is on
longer term industrial, trade, labour and financial sector
policies. The chapter on India views the country's economic
development in the light of the above analysis. The political
economy of the policy-making process is examined in each case.

This book gives readers an in-depth analysis of the fundamentals
behind designing on-demand medium access control (MAC) protocols
for multihop wireless networks, esp. with nodes having multiple
antenna technologies. This is the first attempt towards designing
and analyzing on-demand, also known as contention-based, MAC
protocols for multiple beam smart antennas (MBSA). The book begins
with a general introduction of the state-of-art problems and
solutions that then forms the basis of this book. The book then
introduces mathematical models to analyze MBSA and derive basic MAC
fundamentals. The readers are then exposed to step-by-step MAC
design for MBSA in wireless ad hoc networks. Once the basic design
is completed, advanced concepts such as wireless mesh network
architecture, Quality of Service (QoS), interoperability with
existing IEEE802.11 standards and co-existence with other antenna
technologies, viz., omnidirectional and directional, are
introduced. Finally, the book ends with introducing link layer
reliable and energy-efficient communication mechanisms for wireless
sensor networks.

in Boston, MA, USA. The next chapter introduces a new idea for
cognitive radio termed as "Spectrum Selection," a concept of
preferable selection of spectrum for further spectrum sensing. A
separate chapter on application of Hidden Markov Models is
discussed for efficient spectrum sensing techniques. Additionally,
Game theoretic approaches are illustrated with examples in one
chapter for spectrum sharing and coexistence of secondary and
primary users in licensed bands. The concept of NC-OFDMA is also
