This book provides an accessible introduction to signals and systems by beginning with an early introduction to cound and image applications, as opposed to circuits, that motivate readers to learn the theory. The book is accompanied by a robust website with detailed notes and illustrative applets for most every topic.An accessible introduction to the topic that assumes no background in circuits. Starts by presenting applications, which successfully motivates students learn the theory. An appropriate presentation for computer engineers and computer scientists students. Includes extensive web material for students and instructors with dynamic, illustrative applets for most topics. Incorporates lab material that ties the theory of the text into real-world applications of signals and systems. Based on many years of successful class-testing at the authors' university.This book is designed for students taking an introductory signals and systems course, as well as engineers looking for a fresh coverage of this important topic.

This unified volume is a collection of invited articles on topics presented at the Symposium on Systems, Control, and Networks, held in Berkeley June 5–7, 2005, in honor of Pravin Varaiya on his 65th birthday. Varaiya is an eminent faculty member of the University of California at Berkeley, widely known for his seminal contributions in areas as diverse as stochastic systems, nonlinear and hybrid systems, distributed systems, communication networks, transportation systems, power networks, economics, optimization, and systems education. The book will serve as an excellent resource for practicing and research engineers, applied mathematicians, and graduate students working in such areas as communication networks, sensor networks, transportation systems, control theory, hybrid systems, and applications.

In Honor of Pravin Varaiya

Advances in Control, Communication Networks, and Transportation Systems

A comprehensive view of networking technologies, their future directions, economic drivers for network growth, and analytical techniques to help get the most out of network resources. The book is very well written, and will be extremely valuable to practitioners and researchers alike. Bharat Doshi, Lucent Technologies In a field where the rapid development of technology has made complete coverage in a single text almost impossible, this book is an exception. It represents a singular accomplishment of clarity, precision, accuracy, and topical currency. Its friendly style is complemented by insights, breadth, and a unique blend of traditional and innovative presentation. Anthony Ephremides, University of Maryland The second edition covers new technologies that have emerged in the last few years. I have successfully used it in teaching at Stanford University. I believe this book is also very useful to a wide range of professionals who are trying to keep pace with the rapid developments in the field. Nicholas Bambos, Stanford University By focusing on the convergence of the telephone, computer networking, cable TV, and wireless industries, this fully revised second edition explains current and emerging networking technologies. The authors proceed from fundamental principles to develop a comprehensive understanding of network architectures, protocols, control, performance, and economics. Communications engineers, computer scientists, and network administrators and managers will appreciate the book for its perspectives on the innovations that impact their work. Students will be enriched by the descriptive and thorough coverage of networking, giving them the knowledge to explore rewarding career opportunities. Features Provides the most recent information on wide and local area networks, including WDM and optical networks, Fast and Gigabit Ethernets access networks, such as cable modems and DSL; approaches for quality-differentiated services in IP and ATM networks. Examines the Internet, including proposed advances for improved performance and quality of service. Presents a comprehensive discussion of wireless networks for voice and data. Explains the economic factors and technical tradeoffs that guide network development. Derives (in self-contained sections) the most important mathematical results of network performance
