This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book bridges two seemingly distinct worlds—network theory and machine learning—to reveal the universal laws of scalability that underlie both. It examines how value, capacity, and performance evolve as systems expand, offering a unified framework that connects Metcalfe’s Law with neural scaling laws.By comparing network growth and model scaling, the book uncovers striking parallels: the diminishing throughput of densely connected networks mirrors the saturation of model generalization in large AI systems. Through rigorous analytical models, it explains when performance scales sublinearly, linearly, or even superlinearly—and why these transitions matter for the future of communication infrastructure and intelligent computation.Designed for researchers and advanced practitioners in computer networks, information theory, and artificial intelligence, this work delivers both conceptual insight and practical guidance. It helps readers recognize the structural forces that shape scalability, the mathematical trade-offs between capacity and efficiency, and the design principles that can transfer between large-scale networks and learning systems.Readers with backgrounds in probability, linear algebra, and algorithmic modeling will find this book a compelling synthesis of theory and application—a guide to understanding how scaling behavior defines the limits and possibilities of modern computational systems.Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbH, Europaplatz 3, 69115 Heidelberg 196 pp. Englisch.…

About the Author
Cheng Wang is a Professor at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Tongji University. His research focuses on large-scale communication networks, distributed systems, and intelligent computing—areas that closely relate to the study of system scalability explored in this book. Professor Wang has authored more than 150 peer-reviewed publications and holds 34 invention patents. He has led several national-level research initiatives, including the National Key Research and Development Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Program of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. His academic contributions have been recognized with major distinctions such as the National Science and Technology Progress Award and the Outstanding Ph.D. Dissertation Award from the China Computer Federation (CCF). Professor Wang has published several books with Springer, including Human Factor Security and Safety (2025), Computational Structural Behavior (2026), and Integrated Security and Safety of Intelligent Computing (2026).
Yuhang Lin is a PhD candidate in the School of Computer Science and Technology at Tongji University. His research interests include information theory, behavioral computing and network representation learning.

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to buchversandmimpf2000, Emtmannsberg, BAYE, Germany, +49 09209-2023188, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us.
