"…an excellent book for those who are interested in learning the current status of research and development…[and] who want to get a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art." (<i>E-STREAMS</i>, March 2005)

STEFANO BASAGNI holds a PhD in computer science from the University of Milano, Italy, and a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Dallas. He received his BSc degree in computer science from the University of Pisa, Italy, in 1991. Since January 2002, he has been an assistant professor of Computer Engineering in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of Northeastern University. <p>MARCO CONTI received the Laurea degree in Computer Science from the University of Pisa, Italy. He is currently a senior researcher at the Informatics and Telematics Institute (IIT) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR). He served as program committee chair of IFIP-TC6 Conferences "Networking2002," and "PWC2003." He is on the editorial board of ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review.</p> <p>SILVIA GIORDANO received her PhD from EPFL, Lausanne. She is currently coordinator of Wireless, Telecommunication and High Frequency at the University of Applied Science of Ticino (Switzerland), and working as scientific collaborator at IIT-CNR, Pisa (Italy). She is a technical editor of IEEE Communications Magazine.</p> <p>IVAN STOJMENOVIc´ received a PhD degree in mathematics from the University of Zagreb. He is currently full professor at the University of Ottawa (Canada). He is managing editor of the Journal of Multiple-Valued Logic and Soft Computing, and an editor of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, Parallel Processing Letters, and a few other journals. He recently edited the Handbook of Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing (Wiley, 2002).</p>

Current trends, architectures, and applications of mobile ad hoc networking <p>Mobile ad hoc networking is one of the more innovative and challenging areas of wireless networking, one which promises to become increasingly present in our lives. Consisting of devices that are autonomously self-organizing in networks, ad hoc networks offer a large degree of freedom at a lower cost than other networking solutions.</p> <p>Assimilating the most up-to-date information on research and development activities in this rapidly growing area, <i>Mobile Ad Hoc Networking</i> covers physical, data link, network, and transport layers, as well as application, security, simulation, and power management issues in sensor, local area, personal, and mobile ad hoc networks. Each of the book’s sixteen chapters has been written by a top expert and discusses in-depth the most important topics in the field, including:</p> <ul> <li>The historical evolution of mobile ad hoc networking</li> <li>Off-the-shelf enablers of ad hoc networks</li> <li>IEEE 802.11 in ad hoc networks</li> <li>Bluetooth networks</li> <li>Antenna beamforming, power control, and topology control</li> <li>Routing technology</li> <li>Location discovery</li> <li>Energy-efficient communication in ad hoc wireless networks</li> <li>Security</li> <li>Self-organized and cooperative ad hoc networks</li> <li>Algorithmic challenges in ad hoc networking</li> </ul> <p><i>Mobile Ad Hoc Networking</i> is an excellent reference and guide for professionals seeking an in-depth examination of topics that also provides a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art.</p>
