This book constitutes the Final Report of COST Action 279, Analysis and DesignofAdvancedMultiserviceNetworkssupportingMultimedia,Mobility, andInterworking, a guided tour of the state-of-the-art work on diverse aspects of modern telecommunications networks design developed within this Action during the four years of its operation, started on July 1, 2001, and ended on June 30, 2005. As stated in its founding charter, its Memorandum of Understanding, the work area of COST 279 is the analysis, design, and control aspects of prese- day networks-quite a wide scope. Behind the unifying fac ,ade put on by the Internet Protocol (IP) network layer, todays networks hide a mess of hete- geneity: heterogeneity at the level of applications, both concerning the traf?c they produce and the network Quality of Service (QoS) they require, and h- erogeneity at the level of network component subsystems, in particular an - creasingly important mobile/wireless access segment.A common ground for the treatment of this disparate set of topics was given by the strong meth- ological component contained in the approach followed in COST 279, with importance placed on the development and application, whenever possible, of analytical techniques and models for the mathematical understanding of the systems under study. The results expected from the Action ranged thus from mathematical models and algorithms as entities of own interest to the und- standing of systembehavior via their application.

Wikipedia, die Enzyklopädie aus freien Inhalten, ist eine der meistaufgerufenen Webseiten weltweit jeder kennt sie, jeder nutzt sie. Doch wie steht es wirklich um das Social-Media-Projekt? Wie wahr sind die enthaltenen Informationen, und wie demokratisch geht es zu?Begründer Jimmy Wales beteuert, das Onlinelexikon sei nahezu immun gegen Fake News. Schaut man genauer hin, zeigt sich: Von der einst guten Idee ist nach rund 20 Jahren nicht viel übriggeblieben. In der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia jedenfalls haben sich Sachfehler und Desinformation sowie Mobbing und Vandalismus ausgebreitet, Personen, Parteien und Unternehmen werden gezielt diffamiert ein Spiegel der zunehmenden Radikalisierung unserer Internetkultur.Die vorliegende Dokumentation enthält Texte und Interviews von und mit Experten sowie Geschädigten aus Politik, Wissenschaft und Kultur. Sorgfältig belegte Fallbeispiele, Gerichtsreportagen und bizarre Stilblüten runden das Bild ab. Das Buch zeigt aber auch Lösungswege aus dem Dilemma auf.Mit Beiträgen von Alex Baur, Günter Bechly, David Berger, Elias Erdmann, Markus Fiedler, Tomasz M.
