Lecture Notes on Data Engineering and Co Advances in Network-Based Information Systems: The 21st International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems (N, Book 22, (Paperback)

This book presents the latest research findings and innovative theoretical and practical research methods and development techniques related to the emerging areas of information networking and their applications.

Today's networks and information systems are evolving rapidly, and there are several new trends and applications, such as wireless sensor networks, ad hoc networks, peer-to-peer systems, vehicular networks, opportunistic networks, grid and cloud computing, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, multimedia systems, security, multi-agent systems, high-speed networks, and web-based systems. These networks have to deal with the increasing number of users, provide support for different services, guarantee the QoS, and optimize the network resources, and as such there are numerous research issues and challenges that need to be considered and addressed.
