With a broad range of research studies, Telecommunications Optimization encompasses a variety of modern aproaches used to solve telecommunications optimization problems. Constant advances in computer science and artifical intelligence have resulted in heuristic and adaptive techniques becoming recognized as adept providers of solutions to the problems faced in the telecommunications arena. The emerging technologies in telecommunications and increasing use of the Internet expand the role that advanced heuristic and adaptive methods can play.
Topics covered include:
Heuristic techniques covering local search methods and population-based techniques
Adaptive computation techniques covering neural computation, fuzzy logic and game theory
Practical and successful ways to address problems in network design and planning, routing, protocol design and network management
Written in an accessible and easy-to-read manner, optimization researchers can use this essential resource to gain a wider appreciation of the problems in telecommunications. It is also an indispensible source for telecommunications engineers enabling optimization issues to be addressed through the use of developing software technologies.
