| Signal Integrity Characterization Techniques |
 Signal Integrity Characterization Techniques
Author: Eric Bogatin, Mike Resso
What the publisher says:
"Signal
Integrity Characterization Techniques" addresses the gap between
traditional digital and microwave curricula all while focusing on a practical
and intuitive understanding of signal integrity effects within the data
transmission channel. High-speed interconnects such as connectors, PCBs,
cables, IC packages, and backplanes are critical elements of differential
channels that must be designed using today's most powerful analysis and
characterization tools.Both measurements and simulation must be done on the device
under test, and both activities must yield data that correlates with each
other. Most of this book focuses on real-world applications of signal integrity
measurements - from backplane for design challenges to error correction
techniques to jitter measurement technologies. The authors' approach wisely
addresses some of these new high-speed technologies, and it also provides
valuable insight into its future direction and will teach the reader valuable
lessons on the industry.

 Beyond the Quadruple Play: Networking, Convergence and Customer Delivery
Author: International
Engineering Consortium
What the publisher says:
Service
provider organizations have experienced the high costs and disruptions caused
by customer churn, since users usually go with better service deals from
competitive providers. Packaging multiple services onto a single
customer-friendly bundle has actually led to positive results, including
customer loyalty to service packages and a highly reduced churn rate. In
addition, networks can deliver more efficient converging services, thus
yielding a double win for providers as customer retention is increased and
operating costs are better managed. "Beyond the Quadruple Play:
Networking, Convergence, and Customer Delivery" will cover all topics
related to strategies and experiences on quad-play service design and delivery.

| Bringing the PMBOK Guide to Life: A Companion for the
Practicing Project Manager |
Bringing the PMBOK Guide to Life: A Companion for the Practicing Project Manager
Author: Frank P.
Saladis, Harold
Kerzner
What the publisher says:
Transform
the PMBOK® Guide from a framework to a sharpened tool in your project manager's
toolbox
In project
management circles, it's often joked that "there's the right way, the
wrong way, and the PMBOK® way" to manage projects. In truth, it's really
about the methodology you choose. The PMBOK® Guide is a consensus-based
standard that thousands of project management professionals find immensely
valuable in the process of developing an effective methodology. But exactly how
does a project manager take the information provided in the PMBOK® Guide and
apply it most effectively and appropriately to an actual project environment?
This book can be the answer. It is basically a "guide to the guide"-a
road map to applying the tools of the PMBOK® Guide to your organization's or
project's unique nature and requirements.
Bringing the
PMBOK® Guide to Life: A Companion for the Practicing Project Manager builds a
bridge between the PMBOK® Guide and the common needs of today's practicing
project managers. It explains and elaborates on specific techniques, terms, and
the application of tools that will enable project managers to effectively adapt
the principles and processes described in the PMBOK® Guide to the practical
world of project management.
Readers will
find suggested approaches for the use of project management tools and
techniques along with templates developed directly from information provided in
the PMBOK® Guide. Suggestions and study tips are also included to assist in
preparing for the PMP exam, and a Project Plan Accelerator (PPA) can be used
with the PMBOK® Guide by project managers and project teams to develop plans
that are specifically tailored to meet the needs of your team, your clients,
and your sponsoring organization.
Written by two
of the leading experts in the field, Bringing the PMBOK® to Life will help
every project manager translate the PMBOK® Guide's tools and techniques into
actionable, commonsense approaches to managing a project.
