Next-Generation Networks: Proceedings of CSI-2015 (Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, 638)

This book comprises select proceedings of the 2015 annual conference of the Computer Society of India. The books focuses on next generation networks (NGN). An NGN is a packet-based network which can provide services including telecommunication services. NGNs make use of multiple broadband, quality-of-service-enabled transport technologies in which service-related functions are independent from underlying transport-related technologies. This volume includes contributions from experts on various aspects of NGNs. The papers included cover theory, methodology and applications of ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, and the internet. The contents also delve into how the new enterprise IT landscape of cloud services, mobility, social media usage and big data analytics creates different types of network traffic to the traditional mix of in-house client-server enterprise workloads. The contents of this book will be useful to researchers and professionals alike.
