It can be difficult for the non-technical home PC user to cut through all of the jargon and successfully create a safe, secure home network that delivers. In this friendly, inviting, and visual book, the reader will see that it’s easy to decide on the right equipment, set up a home network, make it secure, and enhance their enjoyment with the right multimedia connections. This book will help the ordinary, home PC user understand what a network can do for them and in plain English, explain how to choose, install, and configure that network. The focus will be on easy to understand, step-by-step directions that show the reader how to do it without asking for help. The book will also cover emerging topics like setting up a media center, wireless Web cams, and connecting your game console wirelessly for online gaming fun. All topics will be presented in a visual manner with plenty of photographs, screen shots, and illustrations to show the reader exactly what to expect. In addition, all of the chapters will conclude with a “What Went Wrong: Your Quick Fix Reference” section, which explains what needs to be done to correct problems the reader might have encountered.

The purpose of this book is to bridge the gap between wireless networking and service research communities who have hitherto confined their work to their respective specialties.  It not only focuses on the latest technology enablers for speedier and more reliable wireless networking in the home, but also integrates these enablers to provide workable end-to-end solutions from a user's perspective.  The scope is limited to approaches that will enhance the user's experience in consuming content in the private and secure setting of the home.

The emergence of Enterprise services has triggered a major paradigm shift in distributed computing: from Object-Oriented Architecture (OOA) to Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). As the need grows to incorporate and exchange information across wire-line and wireless networks, so grows the necessity to establish an infrastructure for high-distribution communities in a timely and safe manner. Network-Centric Service-Oriented Enterprise (NSCOE) is seen as heralding the next generation of mainstream Enterprise-business information collaboration solution that can enforce information and decision superiority in the decentralized, loosely-coupled, and highly interoperable service environments. Network-Centric Service Oriented Enterprise establishes a system-of-systems (SoS) view of information technologies, offering a synergistic combination of data and information-processing capacity upon an innovative networked-management framework.
