The current book provides a final report of activity performed by the COST 290 Action, ‘‘Traffic and QoS Management in Wireless Multimedia Networks,’’ which ran from March 10, 2004, until June 3, 2008. After an introduction to the COST framework and the Action’s survey time-frame and activities, the main part of the book addresses a number of technical issues, which are structured into several chapters. All those issues have been carefully investigated by the COST 290 community during the course of the project – the information presented in this book can be regarded as ultimate for each particular topic; every open research issue addressed in the book is described carefully, corresponding existing studies are analyzed and results achieved by the COST 290 community are presented and compared, and further research directions are defined and analyzed. Because the book covers a wide area of research addressing issues of modern wired and wireless networking at different layers, starting from the physical layer up to the application layer, it can be recommended to be used by researchers and students to obtain a comprehensive analysis on particular research topics including related areas, to obtain broad and ultimate referencing, and to be advised on current open issues. COST 290 is one of the Actions of the European COST Program. Founded in 1971, COST is an intergovernmental framework for European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research, allowing the coordination of nationally funded research on a European level.

Advances in computing, communications, and control have bridged the physical components of reality and cyberspace leading to the smart internet of things (IoT). The notion of IoT has extraordinary significance for the future of several industrial domains. Hence, it is expected that the complexity in the design of IoT applications will continue to increase due to the integration of several cyber components with physical and industrial systems. As a result, several smart protocols and algorithms are needed to communicate and exchange data between IoT devices. Smart Devices, Applications, and Protocols for the IoT is a collection of innovative research that explores new methods and techniques for achieving reliable and efficient communication in recent applications including machine learning, network optimization, adaptive methods, and smart algorithms and protocols. While highlighting topics including artificial intelligence, sensor networks, and mobile network architectures, this book is ideally designed for IT specialists and consultants, software engineers, technology developers, academicians, researchers, and students seeking current research on up-to-date technologies in smart communications, protocols, and algorithms in IoT.

The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Learn the fundamental algorithms and protocols for wireless and mobile ad hoc networks Advances in wireless networking and mobile communication technologies, coupled with the proliferation of portable computers, have led to development efforts for wireless and mobile ad hoc networks. This book focuses on several aspects of wireless ad hoc networks, particularly algorithmic methods and distributed computing with mobility and computation capabilities. It covers everything readers need to build a foundation for the design of future mobile ad hoc networks: Establishing an efficient communication infrastructure Robustness control for network-wide broadcast The taxonomy of routing algorithms Adaptive backbone multicast routing The effect of inference on routing Routing protocols in intermittently connected mobile ad hoc networks and delay tolerant networks Transport layer protocols ACK-thinning techniques for TCP in MANETs Power control protocols Power saving in solar powered WLAN mesh networks Reputation and trust-based systems Vehicular ad hoc networks Cluster interconnection in 802.15.4 beacon enabled networks The book is complemented with a set of exercises that challenge readers to test their understanding of the material. Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless and Mobile Ad Hoc Networks is appropriate as a self-study guide for electrical engineers, computer engineers, network engineers, and computer science specialists. It also serves as a valuable supplemental textbook in computer science, electrical engineering, and network engineering courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.
