This book constitutes the post-proceedings of the 6th International ICST Conference on Mobile Networks and Management, MONAMI 2014, held in Wurzburg, Germany, in September 2014. The 22 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. In addition, MONAMI 2014 hosted a workshop on enhanced living environments which also featured 10 papers. The volume is organized thematically in six parts, covering: LTE networks, virtualization and software defined networking, self-organizing networks, energy awareness in wireless networks, wireless networks algorithms and techniques and applications and context-awareness. The workshop on enhanced living environments is organized in thematic sessions on ambient assisted living architectures, human interaction technologies, devises and mobile cloud.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International ICST Conference, TridentCom 2011, held in Shanghai, China, in April 2011. Out of numerous submissions the Program Committee finally selected 26 full papers and 2 invited papers. They focus on topics as future Internet testbeds, future wireless testbeds, federated and large scale testbeds, network and resource virtualization, overlay network testbeds, management provisioning and tools for networking research, and experimentally driven research and user experience evaluation.

This book constitutes the Final Report of COST Action 279, Analysis and DesignofAdvancedMultiserviceNetworkssupportingMultimedia, Mobility, andInterworking, a guided tour of the state-of-the-art work on diverse aspects of modern telecommunications networks design developed within this Action during the four years of its operation, started on July 1, 2001, and ended on June 30, 2005. As stated in its founding charter, its Memorandum of Understanding, the work area of COST 279 is the analysis, design, and control aspects of prese- day networks-quite a wide scope. Behind the unifying fac, ade put on by the Internet Protocol (IP) network layer, todays networks hide a mess of hete- geneity: heterogeneity at the level of applications, both concerning the traf?c they produce and the network Quality of Service (QoS) they require, and h- erogeneity at the level of network component subsystems, in particular an - creasingly important mobile/wireless access segment. A common ground for the treatment of this disparate set of topics was given by the strong meth- ological component contained in the approach followed in COST 279, with importance placed on the development and application, whenever possible, of analytical techniques and models for the mathematical understanding of the systems under study. The results expected from the Action ranged thus from mathematical models and algorithms as entities of own interest to the und- standing of systembehavior via their application."

Dieses Lehrbuch vermittelt die gangigen Methoden der Modellbildung und Analyse technischer Systeme, die in der Leistungsbewertung von Rechner- und Kommunikationssystemen sowie von Fertigungssystemen angewendet werden. Die hier behandelten Methoden bilden die Grundlagen der Verkehrstheorie bzw. des "Traffic Engineering.""

Dieses Buch vermittelt die gangigen Methoden der Modellbildung und Analyse verteilter Systeme, die in der Leistungsbewertung von Rechner- und Kommunikationssystemen sowie von Fertigungssystemen angewendet werden. Zunachst werden die Grundlagen der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung, der stochastischen Prozesse, der Markov- und der Erneuerungsprozesse behandelt, die zum Verstandnis der analytischen Leistungsbewertungsverfahren erforderlich sind. Grundmodelle der klassischen Nachrichtenverkehrstheorie und des Operations Research werden eingehend beschrieben, wobei Modellierungs- und Anwendungsaspekte im Vordergrund stehen. Abschliessend werden moderne Analysemethoden vorgestellt, z.B. zeitdiskrete Analyseverfahren und Algorithmen sowie die Klasse der matrixanalytischen Methoden.
