Charging Communication Networks: From Theory to Practice
Charging Communication Networks: From Theory to Practice by D.J. Songhurst, published by Elsevier S & T in 1999, offers a comprehensive exploration of usage-based charging schemes essential for the efficient operation of multiservice networks. This first edition spans 244 pages and is presented in English, addressing the intersection of technology and economics in network management.
Readers will find a detailed examination of how rapid advancements in network technology necessitate innovative charging models to support sophisticated services and applications. The book discusses insights from the European collaborative project CA$hMAN, which integrated performance and economic models to develop effective charging schemes. By focusing on the practical implementation of these models, the text provides valuable perspectives for professionals in business, economics, and computer science, particularly in the areas of monetary theory and system administration.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book proposes that usage-based charging schemes are essential to generate the incentives necessary for efficient operation of multiservice networks. The rapid development of network technology is enabling sophisticated new services and applications which demand new charging models. The same technology provides the means to operate the right charging schemes.Some of the work done in the European collaborative project CA$hMAN (Charging and Accounting Schemes in Multiservice ATM Networks). This project combined performance and economic models of network resource usage and cutomer utility to construct simple but effective charging schemes which were implemented and trialled in an advanced management platform.
