Architecture of Network Systems
By- Dimitrios Serpanos, Professor of Computer Architecture at the Department of Electrical and Computer of the University of Patras in Patras, Greece
- Tilman Wolf, Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst
Network systems require technical skills in computer architecture, design methodologies, algorithm design, and networking. Architecture of Network Systems explains the practice and methodologies that will allow you to solve a broad range of problems in system design, including problems related to security, quality of service, performance, manageability, and more. Leading researchers Dimitrios Serpanos and Tilman Wolf develop architectures for all network sub-systems, bridging the gap between operation and VLSI. Discussing the major challenges in the design of networks and the architectures that have been developed, Serpanos and Wolf provide a systematic treatment of network architectures, from the basics to advanced topics.
Audience
Practicing engineers designing the architecture of network systems; Graduate students in computer engineering and computer science studying network system design.
