DWDM: Networks, Devices, and Technology
Stamatios V. Kartalopoulos

Wiley-IEEE Press, 2002

An A-to-Z look at an increasingly important technology: DWDM The race for unprecedented bandwidth is on - and DWDM(Dense Wave-length Division Multiplexing) is opening the way. DWDM is the technology that allows multiple streams of data to flow in one optical fiber of optical communication network. DWDM is the key technology at the heart of new systems and networks that offers more bandwidth at less cost. Soon, DWDM promises to change ...

Understanding Sonet/Sdh and Atm: Communications Networks for the Next Millennium

8 reviews
Stamatios V. Kartalopoulos

Wiley-IEEE Press, 1999

Great buy for the starters in this field
For any one trying for introduction to the topics SONET/SDH ATM This book is the best. Very lucid explanation with lot of good figures and mainly you can read it at bedtime/while travelling and get authentic overview of the subject , A must for the managers in the field and engineers starting to work in the field. The main feature is that it packs a lot of information in such a compact book and ...

Introduction to DWDM Technology: Data in a Rainbow

12 reviews
Stamatios V. Kartalopoulos

Wiley-IEEE Press, 1999

Adequate introduction, but there are better...
The book has good coverage, and will leave the reader with a decent overview of what's out there, but very little understanding of anything. While that seems like the point of such a book, it doesn't really make the book useful. This isn't popular physics--anybody who needs an overview of DWDM probably needs a little more than this tiny book can offer. The other reviews about the book's low ...

Security of Information and Communication Networks
Stamatios V. Kartalopoulos

Wiley-IEEE Press, 2009

Information and communications security is a hot topic in private industry as well as in government agencies. This book provides a complete conceptual treatment of securing information and transporting it over a secure network in a manner that does not require a strong mathematical background. It stresses why information security is important, what is being done about it, how it applies to networks, and an overview of its key issues. It is ...

Next Generation Intelligent Optical Networks: From Access to Backbone
Stamatios V. Kartalopoulos

Springer, 2007

The book covers protocols and other significant issues of the next generation optical network for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and managers in the industry. Topics are discussed without complex math, but with citations to references for those interested in an advanced math level.

Next Generation SONET/SDH: Voice and Data

2 reviews
Stamatios V. Kartalopoulos

Wiley-IEEE Press, 2004

Disappointing
I bought the book hoping to use it as an introductory text for GFP, VCAT and LCAS. After all that's what the "next-generation" SONET is about. The author first starts with explaining the T-carrier hierarchy (which is OK as a general introduction to TDM networks), but each section looks totally out of the context and no relationship is established with the rest of the text. Similar case is with ...

Optical Bit Error Rate: An Estimation Methodology
Stamatios V. Kartalopoulos

Wiley-IEEE Press, 2004

Optical Bit Error Rate: An Estimation Methodology provides an analytical methodology to the estimation of bit error rate of optical digital signals. This presents an extremely important subject in the design of optical communications systems and networks, yet previous to the publication of this book the topic had not been covered holistically. The text lays out an easy-to-understand analytical approach to a highly important and complex ...

Understanding Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic: Basic Concepts and Applications (IEEE Press Understanding ...

Stamatios V. Kartalopoulos

Wiley-IEEE Press, 1995

best for beginners
If you have no idea what this subject is all about or if you are interested in knowing the concept of neural networks then try this book, it gives you the conceptual view in a simple matter which is perfectly enough to gain your interest in the subject. If any one wanna work in this field I strongly suggest them to read this book before they want to continue in the field. "A simple and well ...

Fault Detectability in DWDM: Towards Higher Signal Quality and System Reliability
Stamatios V. Kartalopoulos

Wiley-IEEE Press, 2001

Enhance your understanding of the failure mechanisms of optical components, and draft fault detection guidelines to design a robust Dense Wavelength Digital Multiplexing (DWDM) system and network that exhibits and maintains optical signal quality and system reliability. This valuable reference builds on Dr. Kartalopoulos' seminal book on the subject, Introduction to DWDM Technology: Data in a Rainbow, providing an analytical approach to ...
