About this book
Optical networks epitomize complex communication systems, and they comprise the Internet’s infrastructural backbone. The first of its kind, this book develops the mathematical framework needed from a control perspective to tackle various game-theoretical problems in optical networks. In doing so, it aims to help design control algorithms that optimally allocate the resources of these networks.
With its fresh problem-solving approach, "Game Theory for Control of Optical Networks" is a unique resource for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in applied mathematics and systems/control engineering, as well as those in electrical and computer engineering.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This is a textbook summarizing current research on game theoretic models for control of optical networks. … The book is a very clear exposition of a very active research area and brings the reader close to state-of-the art. It does a very good job of highlighting the role of game theoretic techniques, often presenting more than one approach or algorithm for a problem, and … it can be used to advantage by an interested researcher without prior exposure to familiarize herself with the broad area.” (Vivek S. Borkar, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1242, 2012)
