Book Descriptions:

Communication protocols form the operational basis of computer networks and tele­communication systems. They are behavior conventions that describe how com­munication systems inter­act with each other, defining the temporal order of the interactions and the formats of the data units exchanged – essentially they determine the efficiency and reliability of computer networks. Protocol Engineering is an important discipline covering the design, validation, and implementation of communication protocols.

Part I of this book is devoted to the fundamentals of communication protocols, describing their working principles and implicitly also those of computer networks. The author introduces the concepts of service, protocol, layer, and layered architecture, and introduces the main elements required in the description of protocols using a model language. He then presents the most important protocol functions. Part II deals with the description of communication proto­cols, offering an overview of the various formal methods, the essence of Protocol Engineering. The author introduces the fundamental description methods, such as finite state machines, Petri nets, process calculi, and temporal logics, that are in part used as semantic models for formal description techniques. He then introduces one represen­tative technique for each of the main description approaches, among others SDL and LOTOS, and surveys the use of UML for describing protocols. Part III covers the protocol life cycle and the most important development stages, presenting the reader with approaches for systematic protocol design, with various verification methods, with the main implementation techniques, and with strategies for their testing, in particular with conformance and interoperability tests, and the test description language TTCN. The author uses the simple data transfer example protocol XDT (eXample Data Transfer) throughout the book as a reference protocol to exemplify the various description techniques and to demonstrate important validation and implementation approaches.

The book is an introduction to communication protocols and their development for undergraduate and graduate students of computer science and communication technology, and it is also a suitable reference for engineers and programmers. Most chapters contain exercises, and the author's accompanying website provides further online material including a complete formal description of the XDT protocol and an animated simulation visualizing its behavior.

From reader reviews:

Vivian Bennett:

The book Protocol Engineering can give more knowledge and information about everything you want. So why must we leave a very important thing like a book Protocol Engineering? A few of you have a different opinion about book. But one aim that will book can give many details for us. It is absolutely suitable. Right now, try to closer using your book. Knowledge or information that you take for that, you may give for each other; you can share all of these. Book Protocol Engineering has simple shape but you know: it has great and big function for you. You can seem the enormous world by open and read a e-book. So it is very wonderful.

Micheal Moore:

Do you one of the book lovers? If yes, do you ever feeling doubt when you are in the book store? Try to pick one book that you never know the inside because don't assess book by its handle may doesn't work at this point is difficult job because you are afraid that the inside maybe not since fantastic as in the outside appearance likes. Maybe you answer may be Protocol Engineering why because the amazing cover that make you consider with regards to the content will not disappoint you. The inside or content is actually fantastic as the outside or cover. Your reading sixth sense will directly assist you to pick up this book.

Elizabeth Pipkin:

You can spend your free time to read this book this publication. This Protocol Engineering is simple to deliver you can read it in the playground, in the beach, train and also soon. If you did not possess much space to bring often the printed book, you can buy the e-book. It is make you simpler to read it. You can save the book in your smart phone. Consequently there are a lot of benefits that you will get when you buy this book.

Josephine Widman:

As a college student exactly feel bored to help reading. If their teacher expected them to go to the library or even make summary for some e-book, they are complained. Just tiny students that has reading's heart or real their leisure activity. They just do what the professor want, like asked to the library. They go to right now there but nothing reading significantly. Any students feel that examining is not important, boring and also can't see colorful images on there. Yeah, it is to get complicated. Book is very important for you personally. As we know that on this age, many ways to get whatever we wish. Likewise word says, many ways to reach Chinese's country. Therefore this Protocol Engineering can make you really feel more interested to read.
