Java in Telecommunications: Solutions for Next Generation Networks

From the Publisher: Recent developments to Java such as JAIN (Java APIs for Integrated Networks) and the Java Telephony API expand its functionality to enable its use in the next generation of networks and in telecommunication systems of the future. Providing the first comprehensive overview of how Java may be employed to create telecommunications networks of the future, this text offers broad coverage of all the latest developments which make Java based technologies the solution of choice for building powerful, flexible, efficient, secure networks for mobile devices. Features of the text include: · Offers an overview of how all the latest technologies fit together to enable the development of next generation telecommunications applications · Leading edge, topical coverage of the latest technologies yet to be fully implemented in industry · Practical emphasis, with renowned contributors from industry, writing about the technology itself rather than theoretical concepts · Supplemented with plenty of examples of software code · Deals with hot topical issues such as call processing, multimedia processing, mobile routing agents, active networks, XML, network management with EJB, Servlets, JSP CORBA and RMI An essential reference for experienced network planners, designers, managers and telecommunications engineers with an interest in using leading-edge technologies to implement new network capabilities. The practical emphasis combined with the coverage of the latest technology makes this text of interest to practitioners in industry as well as university researchers. Author Biography: THOMAS C. JEPSON is Programming Languages Editor for IEEE IT Professional Magazine and a telecommunicationsindustry professional who has developed a number of telecommunications-related Java applications, including graphical user interfaces and an application programming interface for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).
