Reviews

From the reviews: "This book is the result of the 2004 Tyrrhenian International Workshop on Digital Communications … . Unlike typical proceedings document, however, the editor has expended considerable effort to bring a uniform editorial style to the book. Practitioners will appreciate that." (Wes Munsil, Computing Reviews, April, 2005)
