William Stallings Books

Like its predecessors, this fully updated fifth edition provides a clear, comprehensive presentation of LAN/MAN technology and the many emerging approaches to high-speed local networking. It meets the needs ot today's readers by emphasizing both the fundamental principles as well as the critical role of performance in driving LAN/MAN design.

For one- or two-semester undergraduate courses in operating systems for computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors An introduction to operating systems with up-to-date and comprehensive coverage Now in its 9th Edition, Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles provides a comprehensive, unified introduction to operating systems topics aimed at computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors. Author William Stallings emphasises both design issues and fundamental principles in contemporary systems, while providing readers with a solid understanding of the key structures and mechanisms of operating systems. He discusses design trade-offs and the practical decisions affecting design, performance and security. The text illustrates and reinforces design concepts, tying them to real-world design choices with case studies in Linux, UNIX, Android, and Windows 10. With an unparalleled degree of support for integrating projects into the course, plus comprehensive coverage of the latest trends and developments in operating systems, including cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT), the text provides everything students and instructors need to keep pace with a complex and rapidly changing field. The 9th Edition has been extensively revised and contains new material, new projects, and updated chapters.

This book is the definitive guide to SNMP-based network and internetwork management for network administrators, managers, and designers. Concise, focusing on practical issues, and completely up to date, it covers SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and the most recent SNMPv3, as well as RMON1 and RMON2 - all of which are currently deployed in LANs and WANs. With this book, you will be better equipped to determine your network management needs, gain insight into design issues, and obtain the necessary understanding to evaluate available SNMP-based products. The author presents helpful background information, including an overview of network management requirements and an explanation of fundamentals such as network management architecture; performance, fault, and accounting monitoring; and configuration and security control.

For one-semester, undergraduate/graduate-level courses in Advanced Networking, Wireless Communications, Wireless Data Communications, and Wireless Technology, in departments of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Science, and Computer Engineering. This comprehensive, well-organized text covers wireless communication and networks, and the rapidly growing associated technologies the most exciting areas in the overall communications field. It explores the key topics in the following general categories: technology and architecture, network type, design approaches, and applications. An emphasis on specific wireless standards reflects the importance of such standards in defining the available products and future research directions in this field. *Coverage of basic networking concepts in Part One and Appendices - appropriate for students with little or no background in data communications. *Consistent discussion of technology and architecture - illustrates how a small collection of ingredients - including frequency band, signal encoding techniques, error correction technique, and network architecture - characterize and differentiate wireless communication and networking

For one-semester undergraduate/graduate level courses and for self-study. William Stallings offers a practical survey of both the principles and practice of cryptography and network security, reflecting the latest developments in the field.

Major changes in networking standards in the last seven months will change the roles of computer communications for the next five years. Stallings waited for the actual revised ANSI standard, and has detailed only the important changes that every network user and administrator needs to know.

This book serves as a practical, up-to-date, and comprehensive survey of network-based and Internet-based security applications and standards -- and as a valuable reference or tutorial.It offers a large section on the discipline of cryptography -- covering algorithms and protocols underlying network security applications, encryption, hash functions, digital signatures, and key exchange. Other topics include IP, web, and network management security, firewalls, and intruders and viruses.

In recent years, the need for education in computer security & related topics has grown dramatically & is essential for anyone studying computer science or computer engineering. This text provides integrated, comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the broad range of topics in this subject.

For courses in computer/network security Computer Security: Principles and Practice, 4th Edition, is ideal for courses in Computer/Network Security. The need for education in computer security and related topics continues to grow at a dramatic rate--and is essential for anyone studying Computer Science or Computer Engineering. Written for both an academic and professional audience, the 4th Edition continues to set the standard for computer security with a balanced presentation of principles and practice. The new edition captures the most up-to-date innovations and improvements while maintaining broad and comprehensive coverage of the entire field. The extensive offering of projects provides students with hands-on experience to reinforce concepts from the text. The range of supplemental online resources for instructors provides additional teaching support for this fast-moving subject. The new edition covers all security topics considered Core in the ACM/IEEE Computer Science Curricula 2013, as well as subject areas for CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) certification. This textbook can be used to prep for CISSP Certification and is often referred to as the 'gold standard' when it comes to information security certification. The text provides in-depth coverage of Computer Security, Technology and Principles, Software Security, Management Issues, Cryptographic Algorithms, Internet Security and more.
