About this title

Synopsis

Modeling and Simulation Tools for Emerging Telecommunication Networks contains over 20 articles by well-known scientists and engineers reflecting the advances in modeling and simulation for telecommunications in the last five years.  Their research covers a broad spectrum of topics including; analytic and hybrid cores for quick solutions of network design performance evaluation problems; multimedia traffic behavior in different time scales; improvement of the quality of the statistical analysis tools imbedded in simulation products; combining source and lower-layer models into two-layer or three-layer traffic models; mobile and satellite communcations propagation models and wide-band optical networks propagation models; verification and validation problems, rare-event simulation and accelerated simulation methods.

The book covers four primary topics: multilayer traffic and multimedia traffic behavior; quality of simulations; accelerated simulation methods; and verification, validation and credibility of simulations and will be an essential reference for practicing engineers and academic researchers.

From the Back Cover

This book contains a selection of papers presented at a symposium organized under the aegis of COST Telecommunications Action 285.

The main objective of the Action is to enhance existing tools and develop new modeling and simulation tools for research in emerging multi-service telecommunication networks in the areas of model performance improvements, multilayer traffic modeling, and the important issue of evaluation and validation of the new modeling tools.

The studies related to the activities above are carried out by members of the Action Group with contributions from invited experts/scientists from non-COST country academia and industry (within and outside Europe) when deemed necessary.  The book in your hands is the collection of some important aspects of study results achieved by this mixed group of experts/scientists from Europe and the United States of America.

The symposium presentations were made in four sessions as follows:

1. Multilayer Traffic and Mulimedia Behavior,

2. Quality of Simulations,

3. Accelerated Simulation Methods,

4. Verification, Validation and Credibility of Simulations,

and covered nearly all of the important aspects of the subjects and issues above.

It is hoped and expected that this book will be useful as a reference work for practicing engineers as well as academic researchers.
