Presenting 17 tools developed through rigorous design science research, this book bridges the relevance gap within network management. In so doing, it proposes a novel system-framework and establishes a path towards a networks-as-practice view on inter-organizational relationships. The systems-framework builds on three institutionalized business practices: Networks-as-coordinated social systems, Networks-as-knowledge-creating platforms, and Networks-as-value-generating entities. Through these tools, Towards Relational Business Practices intends to propose a new managerial praxis and provoke new and improved frameworks and models for network management.

What do public administrators and policy analysts have in common? Their work is undertaken within networks formed when different organizations align to accomplish some kind of policy function. To be effective, they must find ways to navigate complexity and generate effective results. Governance Networks in Public Administration and Public Policy describes a variety of trends and movements that have contributed to the complexity of these systems and the challenges that must be faced as a result. Providing a theoretical and empirical foundation in governance networks, the book offers a conceptual framework for describing governance networks and provides a holistic way to conceive their construction. The text details the skills and functions of public administrators in the context of networked relationships and presents the theoretical foundations to analyze governance networks. It identifies the reforms and trends in governing that led to governance networks, explains the roles that various actors take on through networked relationships, highlights the challenges involved in the failure of networked activities, and illustrates how policy tools are mobilized by these relationships. Be a part of building governance networks 2.0! The author’s website contains support materials such as PowerPoint® presentations, writable case study templates, and other useful items related to building the field’s capacity to describe, evaluate, and design governance networks using the framework of this book. You can post case studies of governance networks, draw on other’s case study materials, and learn about research and educational opportunities. Based on research and real-life experience, the book highlights the interplay between public actors and policy tools. The authors demystify this complex topic of governance networks and explore the practical applications of the conceptual framework. Practical and accessible, the book presents concepts in such a way that readers can engage in these ideas, apply them, and deepen their understanding of the dynamics unfolding around them.

Manage service across "networks of networks" Telecommunications Internetworking delivers the information you need to be a player in today's and tomorrow's internetworked telecom -- the quickly evolving field, where technology and economics are inextricably linked. This unique, first-of-its-kind resource gives you both in-depth technical explanations and prescient business forecasts, in everyday language. Writing with the expertise of both an electrical engineer and a communications industry executive, author P. J. Louis explains the technology behind networks, from the intricate technical steps involved in a common landline phone call to the practicalities of linking all types of systems. Along with an understanding of PCS/cellular, paging, satellite, Internet/LANs/WANs, SS7, and cabling technologies, you’ll gain the insight and confidence you need to: * Design telecom networks of enduring value Base business decisions on a savvy overview of technologies, their interrelationships, and their futures * Position your network advantageously for connectivity, access, seamlessness, convergence, and artificial intelligence * Link networks using the most farsighted technical options * Evaluate networks' potentials and roles as telecom providers * Discover money-making services that networks can provide not only to consumers, but also to each other * Gain a farsighted view of intelligent networking and other emerging technologies * Anticipate technical changes that will affect future network success

There is an old saying: "It is easier to wake someone who is sound asleep than to wake who is pretending to sleep." As network administrators, competing with Al systems in the future is not an impossibility. Analyzing events with simple examples like comparing bandwidth, throughput, jitter, and optimizing server resource usage can be exhausting when applied to dozens or hundreds of devices. For instance, how do we classify when the bandwidth is low in one place but normal elsewhere based on several sample events? Or how do we classify which servers need maintenance and which do not, based on existing data parameters, referring to unsupervised and supervised learning? Classification models can indeed simplify and optimize our work, saving time compared to performing network maintenance one by one, using only Google Colab. In this context, we have tried using a small of unsupervised and supervised learning to process data from simple network case studies. These data are analyzed for classification, regression, and prediction using Python scripts implemented in Google Colab. This book serves as a starting point to be developed into a continuous series, extending to supervised learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning, which are still in the testing and writing phase. We hope this new approach benefits network administrators wherever you are.

Existing books on MPLS are concerned with the description and behavior of the protocols that make up MPLS; this book focuses instead on the specific tools or approaches available for managing MPLS-enabled networks.
