EFCS 2016 - Advances in Networking Systems Architectures, Security, and Applications

Modern network systems encompass a wide range of solutions and technologies, including wireless and wired networks, network systems, services and applications. This appears in numerous active research areas with particular attention paid to the architecture and security of network systems. In parallel, novel applications are developed, in some cases strongly linked to rapidly developing network-based data acquisition and processing frameworks. Information security works as a backbone for protecting both user data and electronic transactions in network systems. Protecting the communication and data infrastructure of an increasingly inter-connected world has become vital nowadays. Security has emerged as an important scientific discipline whose many multifaceted complexities deserve the attention and synergy of the computer science, engineering, and information systems communities. This book volume covers a wide range of topics related to networking systems, security, and network applications. The volume will provide comprehensive reviews of cutting?edge state-of-the-art algorithms, technologies, and applications, providing new insights into a range of fundamentally important topics in networking infrastructures and applications. The edited book volume serves as a reference for engineers and scientists by ensemble up-to-date research contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
