Routing, Flow, and Capacity Design in Communication and Computer Networks

In network design, the gap between theory and practice is woefully broad. This book narrows it, comprehensively and critically examining current network design models and methods. You will learn where mathematical modeling and algorithmic optimization have been under-utilized. At the opposite extreme, you will learn where they tend to fail to contribute to the twin goals of network efficiency and cost-savings. Most of all, you will learn precisely how to tailor theoretical models to make them as useful as possible in practice. Throughout, the authors focus on the traffic demands encountered in the real world of network design. Their generic approach, however, allows problem formulations and solutions to be applied across the board to virtually any type of backbone communication or computer network. For beginners, this book is an excellent introduction. For seasoned professionals, it provides immediate solutions and a strong foundation for further advances in the use of mathematical modeling for network design. Written by leading researchers with a combined 40 years of industrial and academic network design experience. Considers the development of design models for different technologies, including TCP/IP, IDN, MPLS, ATM, SONET/SDH, and WDM. Discusses recent topics such as shortest path routing and fair bandwidth assignment in IP/MPLS networks. Addresses proper multi-layer modeling across network layers using different technologies-for example, IP over ATM over SONET, IP over WDM, and IDN over SONET. Covers restoration-oriented design methods that allow recovery from failures of large-capacity transport links and transit nodes. Presents, at the end of each chapter, exercises useful to both students and practitioners.

The Challenge of Management Accounting Change

Behavioural and Cultural Aspects of Change Management

The implementation of management accounting change constitutes much more than the selection of what may be perceived as being 'optimal' accounting systems and techniques, followed by a 'technical' process of implementation. Selecting and implementing the 'right' accounting systems and techniques and the technical aspects of implementation are important, but change implementation and change management also involves important behavioural and cultural issues that must be understood and addressed. The main focus of The Challenge of Management Accounting Change is on understanding the processes involved in the implementation of management accounting change and the complexities of, and difficulties involved in, changing management accounting systems, techniques and roles in the UK. This book outlines a framework for interpreting and understanding management accounting change as an on-going process and a range of case studies are used to illustrate both successful and unsuccessful implementations, drawing out the various lessons that can be learned and suggesting some pointers for those embarking on a programme of management accounting change. * Describes the finding of a research project investigating management accounting change in the UK * Focuses on the difficulties involved in changing management accounting systems * Written by experts in the field of management accounting

Handbook of Management Accounting Research

Volume one of the Handbooks of Management Accounting Research sets the context for both Handbooks, with three chapters outlining the historical development of management accounting as a discipline and as a practice in three broad geographic settings. The bulk of the first volume then draws together a series of contributions that analyse the scholarly literature in terms of distinct intellectual and theoretical social science perspectives. The volume includes a chapter which looks at work informed by psychology as a base discipline. The volume also includes a set of chapters that seek to evaluate and explain issues of research method for the different approaches to research found within management accounting. Special pricing available if purchased as a set with Volume 2. *Documents the scholarly management accounting literature *Publishing both in print, and online through Science Direct *International in scope

Prediction of biopharmaceutical facility fit issues using decision tree analysis

The impact of upstream and downstream process fluctuations in bioprocesses becomes more pronounced during technology transfer of pilot scale processes into large-scale facilities. Mismatches in equipment sizes upon scale-up combined with process fluctuations can lead to discarding expensive product. Understanding and predicting the root causes of product loss is critical to determining the necessary facility modifications required to meet manufacturing targets. In this work, a decision tree classification method, CART (classification and regression tree), was used to interrogate stochastic Monte Carlo simulation datasets that mimic batch fluctuations in industrial biopharmaceutical batch processes. The resulting binary decision tree not only reveals the impact of process fluctuations on product mass loss but also extracts a series of if-then rules on the critical combinations of factors that lead to unacceptable mass loss levels. The decision tree analysis therefore allows rapid prediction of the likelihood of facility fit issues as well as the batch characteristics that result in product loss.
