In the new 2022 edition of her book Networking Exposed, Lisa Butler, shares her insights about networking and what it takes to be more confident and ultimately more successful. As Managing Director of The Talea Group and in-demand trainer and coach in this field, she demystifies networking, breaking down the common misconceptions about it. Based on the premise that it is a life skill as much as a business skill, there are some simple strategies you can employ to more efficiently and effectively develop your business, career and personal life to be more successful. You will learn practical strategies to help you prepare and manage a myriad of networking situations and develop and grow your personal network. “This book will make you want to do more than you are currently doing, and will show you how to do it with class and style.” David Maister, international author of multiple books, including “The Trusted Advisor” and “Strategy and the Fat Smoker”. "This book will inspire you to get connected. Written in an easy-to-read manner, it contains a myriad of suggestions on how to be the most effective networker. It's all about knowing what works and what doesn't. There's no better way to find out than by reading Networking Exposed." Elizabeth Broderick, UN Special Rapporteur and former Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Australia.

The death of Samantha Grey’s mother and imprisonment of her father made her shut everyone out of her life. Including him. Ten years later, the murder of her father brings them back together and now Detective Nate Evans has two mysteries on his hands: a murder to solve and a past of questions that still gnaw at the surface to face. A past he’s tried hard to bury. One that includes her. As Nate and Samantha are forced to work together to bring justice for the dead, it is clear the case is not the only mystery being unearthed between them. They are led down dark, township alleyways, towards drug-dealer territory, and into the box of a decade old cold case… but how long will they take to realize how deep the roots of this case go? Neither of them are prepared for the trials they face as they start digging through Samantha’s twisted family history and exposing the cost of hidden truths. Will the collision of the past and present destroy what little faith they have in finding healing, or will it be the key to solving the decade old mysteries between them and finding redemption in the chaos? Emily Hart is a young South African author. She’s been involved in humanitarian work in the Middle East and half a dozen African countries, meeting people and seeing places that inspire her writing. Emily lives in Stellenbosch with her family and five chickens.

Pervasive Computing and Networking aim at providing ubiquitous, ever-present, adaptable, smart, enveloping and immersive environments in which computing components and humans can interact regardless of the location. The combination of an abundance of computational power of the processors and the communication bandwidth provided by the wireless and mobile networking everywhere and all the time makes such environments within the reach of current technology. Yet, to realize the full potential of such environments, many technical and economical challenges needs to be overcome. These challenges and the perspective on the seminal directions of the research in this area were the subject of the Workshop for Pervasive Computing and Networking at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA. This book presents chapters based on presentations made at the workshop by leaders in the field. The scope of Advances in Pervasive Computing and Networking ranges from fundamental theory of pervasive computing and networking to crucial challenges and emerging applications. Such seminal topics as a scalable, self-organizing technology for sensor networks, the fundamental relationship between the achievable capacity and delay in mobile wireless networks, the role of self-optimization in sensor networks or similarities and differences between computer networks and their biological counterparts are the subject of the first group of chapters. The next group of chapters covers communication issues, such as cooperative communication in mobile, wireless and sensor networks, methods for maximizing aggregate throughput in 802.11 mesh networks with a physical carrier, and self-configuring location discovery systems for smart environments. The book closes with chapters focusing on sensor network emerging applications such as smart and safe buildings, a design for a distributed transmitter for reachback based on radar signals sensing and two-radio multi-channel clustering.

The Handbook of Algorithms for Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing focuses on several aspects of mobile computing, particularly algorithmic methods and distributed computing with mobile communications capability. It provides the topics that are crucial for building the foundation for the design and construction of future generations of mobile and wireless networks, including cellular, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks. Following an analysis of fundamental algorithms and protocols, the book offers a basic overview of wireless technologies and networks. Other topics include issues related to mobility, aspects of QoS provisioning in wireless networks, future applications, and much more.

Natural and man-made disasters, like floods and eruptions of volcanoes, have tormented mankind since antiquity. Despite all the warning signs, it is certain that when the eruption of Vesuvius started on the morning of 24 August, CE 79, it caught the local population of Pompeii utterly unprepared for the major disaster that ultimately ruined the entire city. What makes our world today different from the population of ancient Pompeii 2,000 years ago, is better abilities to share scientific data about the warning signs of disasters. Modern technologies are giving us an unprecedented opportunity to share disaster preparedness and mitigation information very rapidly and effectively. Technologies such as the Internet, telecommunications, etc., have a great potential to help us prepare for disasters, however, oftentimes scientists are not taking advantage of them. This publication focuses on the importance of the networking of scientists researching the area of natural and man-made disasters, to try to prepare the world better for them in the future.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Information Networking, ICOIN 2005 held in Jeju Island, Korea in January/February 2005. The conference focused on convergence in broadband and mobile networking. The 96 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 427 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on wireless LAN, security, TCP and congestion control, wireless ad-hoc network routing, network measurement, routing, power control in wireless networks, quality of service, high speed networks, wireless ad-hoc networks, network design, peer-to-peer networks, and applications and services.

Here are the refereed proceedings of the 5th International IFIP-TC6 Networking Conference, NETWORKING 2006.
