Wireless Communications Systems and Networks covers the breadth of research in wireless communications. It begins by detailing the essential background, such as wireless standards, spread spectrum and CDMA systems, and goes on to discuss advanced topics in next generation wireless systems. Discussions of advanced-level materials progress in a step-by-step fashion to ensure that readers with some basic knowledge of wireless communications can easily follow the text, without the need to refer to other related readings. This book is a self-contained reference with chapters by top researchers in the field, and is of great interest to telecommunications engineers, students and researchers....

This concise reference covers important aspects of project management. It explains many key concepts in layman's terms, provides tools for planning, organizing, tracking and managing projects and gives examples of various telecommunications projects from wireline and wireless providers, equipment vendors and component manufacturers....

The focus in development methodologies of large and complex software systems has switched in the last two decades from functional issues to structural issues; this holds for both the object-oriented and the more recent component-based software engineering paradigms. Formal methods have been applied successfully to the verification of medium-sized programs in protocol and hardware design for quite a long time. However, their application to the development of large systems requires more emphasis on specification, modeling and validation techniques supporting the concepts of reusability and modifiability, and their implementation in new extensions of existing programming languages like Java. This state-of-the-art survey presents the outcome of the 9th S...

Extreme Programming (XP) is a new lightweight software developing methodology. XP is the most popular of the "agile" development methodologies. Agile development is an integral part of technology movements in the software development world. XP has quickly gained in popularity over the last few years and is now becoming recognized by development shops from large consulting firms through small software houses. Some of the companies that are using XP include DaimlerChrysler, First Union National Bank, and Ford Motor Company. Sams Teach Yourself Extreme Programming in 24 Hours includes coverage on Extreme Programming, agile development, automated test frameworks (Junit, etc.), Automated Build (Ant), and Refactoring in a step-by-step approach....
