Over the recent years, a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, towards the performance modelling, evaluation and prediction of convergent multi-service heterogeneous networks, such as wireless and optical networks, towards the design and dimensioning of the next and future generation Internets. This book follows Heterogeneous Networks: Traffic Engineering, Performance Evaluation Studies and Tools and presents recent advances in networks of diverse technology reflecting the state-of-the-art technology and research achievements in performance modelling, analysis and applications worldwide. Technical topics discussed in the book include: * Multiservice Switching Networks; * Multiservice Switching Networks; * Wireless Ad Hoc Networks; * Wireless Sensor Networks; * Wireless Cellular Networks; * Optical Networks; Heterogeneous Networks:- Performance Modelling and Analysis contains recently extended research papers, which have their roots in the series of the HET-NETs International Working Conferences focusing on the 'Performance Modelling and Evaluation of Heterogeneous Networks' under the auspices of the EU Networks of Excellence Euro-NGI and Euro-FGI. Heterogeneous Networks: Performance Modelling and Analysis is ideal for personnel in computer/communication industries as well as academic staff and master/research students in computer science, operational research, electrical engineering and telecommunication systems and the Internet. Keywords Heterogeneous networks, performance modelling and analysis, wired networks, wireless networks: ad hoc, sensor and cellular, optical networks, next and future generation Internets.
