Information Technology: Emerging Trends

Well-labelled diagrams, tables and abstracts provided in the beginning of each chapter offer a practical view to Computer Science applications. The wide coverage of inter-disciplinary topics with primary focus on Computer Applications, Communication and Information Sciences (CCIS) in Biotechnology, Agricultural Technology and Pharmaceutical Technology, makes it a must-have reference book for students, the scientific community and IT professionals. The book discusses the challenges facing mobile computing, requirements for a network administrator, wireless ad-hoc sensor networks ??Time Synchronization Protocol (TPSN), a QoS (quality of service) based Self-adjusting Routing Protocol for mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) in handling emergency situations such as battlefields, earthquake, conferencing, etc., and Authenticated Routing Protocol and TCP for Ad-hoc Networks. It also talks about cryptography and network security, data warehousing and data mining and bio-informatics and computer.
