Sommario/riassunto

"Shortest Path Bridging is the most recent of this series of evolutionary steps, and is arguably one of the 3 or 4 most significant enhancements in Ethernet's history.  Until SPB, Ethernet had retained its original control mechanisms, and these are now distinctly behind the state of the art in their properties. SPB refreshes this component of Ethernet, by taking the existing data path technology practically unaltered, and marrying it to a significant extension of the state of the art in distributed control planes, link state routing.The book both explains both the "what" and the "why" of the standard. The intent is to provide



a sense of the relative simplicity of 802.1aq, in terms of the small number of moving parts required to achieve what it does, and why those choices were made. It goes into what were elective decisions and what decisions were dictated by the design goals.  It does this by using a multipart approach to the book. The first is a "what it is" description, intended to provide an overview of SPB. The second is separated out, and uses a narrative form to describe the design process and decisions that led to SPB, in order to provide further context in understanding the first part. The book is rounded out with applications and potential futures for the technology to suggest where it could go"--

Sommario/riassunto

"What does the latest research tell us about communication interventions for people with severe disabilities? Find out in this authoritative research volume, which investigates the effectiveness of today&#39;s communication interventions, synthesizes evidence from current studies, and identifies urgent research directions for the future. Shaped by a conference of The National Joint Committee on the Communication Needs of Persons with Severe Disabilities (NJC),&#42; this interdisciplinary book includes contributions from more than 30 top scholars from diverse fields, including psychology, special education, and speech-language pathology. Each chapter gives readers a brief summary of research studies on a key intervention topic, insights on research design and measurement challenges, thoughts on future advances, and real-world clinical and educational recommendations. Essential for the reference libraries of educators and professionals, this book offers powerful insights about today&#39;s communication interventions--and sets a clear agenda for tomorrow&#39;s groundbreaking research.TOPICS COVERED:  prelinguistic communication intervention for young children with intellectual disabilities  challenging behavior and communicative alternatives  interventions for children who are deafblind  augmented language interventions for children with severe disabilities  parents as partners in communication intervention  the role of cultural, ethnic, and linguistic differences   targeted and phenotypic communication interventions for children with Down syndrome or ASD  issues related to research study design, including sample size, the effectiveness of randomized controlled trials, and integration of single-case and group designs   assessment and measurement of communication and language skills in individuals with severe intellectual disabilities  and more    &#42;The NJC conference was funded by the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders"--

"This interdisciplinary book critically examines the research on the effectiveness of communication interventions for individuals with severe disabilities. This volume provides the reader with a synthesis of the complex issues related to communication intervention and severe disabilities"--
