Network Evolution and Applications

《網絡演進與應用》提供了一種全面、整合且易於理解的方法，以了解網絡發展的技術、概念和里程碑。它概述了涉及網絡領域的不同方面，包括通信所必需且在我們日常生活中重要的核心技術。它對某些在科學和技術史上具有革命性且具有高度影響力的過去網絡概念和技術進行了一些闡述。它擴展了人工智能、軟件定義網絡、雲計算和物聯網等各種概念，這些概念目前非常流行。

本書聚焦於網絡世界的演進。現在人們無法想像沒有互聯網的世界；有了互聯網和現代網絡，距離已經不再重要。COVID-19大流行導致全球陷入困境，全球封鎖，家中封鎖，空無一人的街道，沒有消費者的商店和沒有或少量員工的辦公室。多虧現代數字網絡，居家辦公（WFH）或通過網絡/互聯網連接遠程工作的文化已經浮出水面，甚至學校和大學的課程也轉為線上進行。雖然WFH並不新鮮，但COVID-19大流行使其呈現新的面貌，各行各業現在都在積極探索WFH，以在未來延續。本書的目的是呈現網絡發展的時間軸，展示由於這些發展所取得的進展和里程碑。
