Component-Based Network System Engineer (Artech House Telecommunications Library)

A guide to building component-based systems combining hardware, software and network elements in a predictable, competent way. It explains interfaces, integration, components and architectures, how they relate, and what combinations and approaches will yield the best results for your organization's needs. It offers advice on building systems based on real-world experience and solid network engineering theory, without getting bogged down in technological complexity. In addition to this overview, the book covers how to avoid expensive mistakes when you design, build or implement a networked system in a sea of competing hardware, software and components.
