This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th Conference on Computer Networks, CN 2009, held in Wisla, Poland, in June 2009.

The 40 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers deal with new technologies applied in computer networks, particularly those related to nano, molecular and quantum technology; new standard technologies related to computer network structure; the fundamentals of computer networks, their architecture and programming; articles concerning the Internet in its broad meaning; papers related to data and analysis of industrial computer networks; and a group of articles describing general applications of computer networks, including issues related to the quality of data exchange.

Klappentext

The continuous and very intense development of IT has resulted in the fast development of computer networks. Computer networks, as well as the entire ?eldofIT,aresubjectto constantchangestriggeredbythegeneraltechnological advancement and the in?uence of new IT technologies.These methods and tools of designing and modeling computer networks are becoming more advanced. Above all, the scope of their application is growing thanks to, for example, the results of new research and because of new proposals of application, which not long ago were not even taken into consideration. These new applications stimulate the development of scienti?c research, as the broader application of system solutions based on computer networks results in a wide range of both theoretical and practical problems. This book proves that and the contents of its chapters concern a variety of topics and issues. Generally speaking, the contents can be divided into several subject groups. The ?rst group of contributions concerns new technologies applied in computer networks,particularlythoserelatedto nano,molecularandquantumtechnology.
