From the reviews: "This nice book provides a collection of edited contributions from the Ninth INFORMS Telecommunication Conference held in spring 2008. ... Indeed, the reader can find in a unique source several highlights on a broad range of problems and approaches on telecommunications at wide. ... This is certainly a book for the library of your department, but it can also find an adequate placing on the shelf of ... the researchers of the telecommunication group of your institution." (M. Dell'Amico, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 62, 2011)
