From the reviews: "This in-depth exploration of applications of combinatorial optimization to communications networks focuses primarily on wireless networks and optical networks, which are the main areas of the three editors. ... The book is comprehensive and detailed. ... The audience for this book would be researchers in the combinatorial optimizations field who are looking to explore applications of familiar techniques. A graduate student looking for a thesis problem would also find the book useful. ... The real strength of this book is its inclusiveness and broad range." (Angele M. Hamel, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (3), March, 2008)
