About this book

• State-of-the-art treatment of telecommunications policy and cutting-edge technology
•                                         Bridges the gap between researchers and practitioners in R and D with its timely examination of policy that requires change by the impact of newly emerging technologies
•                                         Focuses on the intersection of policy and new telecommunications technology and modeling how business practice can create new business models
•                                         The societal impacts of new telecommunication technologies necessitate the careful analysis of telecommunications policy.
  

This edited book serves as a companion volume to the Ninth INFORMS Telecommunications Conference held in College Park, Maryland, from March 27 to 29, 2008. With rapid advances in telecommunications technology there are many new innovative applications. These advances in technology spawn new research problems. In a certain sense, each one of the 17 papers in this volume is motivated by these advances in technology. Topics range from free-space optical networks to vehicular ad-hoc networks. The research contained in these papers cover a broad spectrum of issues. They range from the design of business models, tools for spectrum auctions, Internet charging schemes, Internet routing policies, and network design problems. Together, they address issues dealing both with engineering design and policy, and it is hoped that these papers will foster new ideas and research in their respective domains.

From the reviews:
“This nice book provides a collection of edited contributions from the Ninth INFORMS Telecommunication Conference held in spring 2008. … Indeed, the reader can find in a unique source several highlights on a broad range of problems and approaches on telecommunications at wide. … This is certainly a book for the library of your department, but it can also find an adequate placing on the shelf of … the researchers of the telecommunication group of your institution.” (M. Dell'Amico, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 62, 2011)
