Network simulation is not just a concept but it's a real time application and totally practically oriented notion so the book primarily focus on basic practical approach to make it a lucid learning stream for readers. The basic notion behind compiling this book is to make students and scholar familiar with network simulation concepts with fundamental details to complex program. Network is amazing or we say network is abstraction. Set up a real network just to learn is not possible: if you want to do networking then you always want to do a demo then make a network which is small and learn from it, how it behave and what happens at each stage. These things happen by constructing a small network. Constructing a small network is expensive and that is very far from a normal person. So construction a real Hardware network for learning is not quite acceptable for many people. So Simulation on internet.

Optimization problems are real world problems we encounter in many areas such as mathematics, engineering, science, business, and economics, e.g. in product and process design, production, traffic control, scheduling and even strategic planning. Optimization is a discipline of dealing with those kinds of problems where one has to minimize or maximize one or more objectives that are functions of some integer or real variables without exploiting the given constraints. For decades' scientists are researching to emerge out with modified and faster techniques. In this book, history of Optimization as well as various optimization techniques like genetic algorithm, ant colony optimization, pattern search, particle swarm optimization, Artificial Bee Colony, Simulated Annealing & Hybrid Optimization techniques have been discussed for solving various optimization problems. Due to the various optimization techniques, available nowadays the solution of every complex problems can be done in acceptable times. The results confirm superior performance of the proposed algorithms in solving many real-world problems. Therefore, Optimization is a mathematical tool to find the maximum or minimum of a function in some feasible region. There is no any industry which is not involved in the solution of optimization problems. In the operational planning of power system, Economic load dispatch (ELD) is a common task which concern with the optimization problems. The objective of ELD problem is to schedule the output of the connected units of the plant so as to fulfil the load demand at minimum operating cost while satisfying all operational constraints. Here, Genetic Algorithm & Simulated Annealing have been implemented to solve ELD problem for IEEE 5, 6, 14 bus system, Standard 15- & 20-Unit thermal generating system. Economic load dispatch problem is one of the most important ones in the power system operation and planning. The main objective of the economic load dispatch problem is to determine optimal combination of power output of all generating units so as to meet the required particular load demand at minimum cost of generation while satisfying the system constraints such as equality and non-equality constraint. The two major factors to be considered while dispatching power to generating units are the cost of generation and the quantity of power supplied. The relation between the cost of generation and the power is approximated by a quadratic polynomial equation and is solved by mathematical programming techniques. In past year numbers of techniques have been utilized to solving the economic load dispatch problem, some of these techniques are the conventional optimization techniques and some are based on the intelligent technique. The objective of this book is to study different naturally inspired intelligent optimization techniques & also to solve economic load dispatch (ELD) problem by considering equality and inequality constraints to satisfy the consumers demand. In this book standard IEEE 5, 6, 14 bus system, standard 15 & 20-unit thermal generating system have been considered for ELD operation. Here Genetic Algorithm & Simulated Annealing algorithm have been implemented to solve ELD problem. The main objective of the book work is summarized as follows. Study of different naturally inspired intelligent optimization techniques & history of optimization. Finding the solution of ELD problem, so minimization of the total fuel cost by satisfying the power system constraints. Using the GA and SA techniques to find out the optimal solution for the ELD problem. Investigate the effectiveness of these methods for ELD problem with losses. Compare the results obtained from these two methods, i.e. Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Simulated Annealing (SA). This book has been arranged in six chapters. Lt. Kishan Bhushan SahayProf. S. K.

India got independence in the year 1947. Post independence it was Indian leaders who had to decide fate of India. They started it with a bang and India-Pakistan partition was the outcome. It was such a selfish decision by either side and respective leaders that millions of people had to lose their life, millions of people became ugly 'MURDERERS'. They could easily be called Cannibals as they together wished independence but after they achieved it they killed each-other. The scar was so deep that it created a never ending war and poor relationship between the two countries. One of the leaders wanted to lead a country with fanatic views and the people responded by scavenging Hindu and Punjabi communities. This was under the guidance of British rulers who were smartly creating self-depleting system for the free country. Their intention was never pure and so they showed the world that the country was safe in their hands. It was like a gang war between two gangs who were imprisoned by the British rulers.

The story is about the real superstars in one's life. These superstars shape up our life. We tend to ignore them and never appreciate their contributions. The superstar creates so many stars in his/her life although being unnoticed. These superstars have altruistic behavior and they never seek any special treatment. An emotional story that would help in building one's life. The story has the message for the young readers to inculcate the traits of my superstar and develop into a star. My book is aimed to create real superstars.

This is a story about different types of couples and the love and bonding between them. It is a story where purity of thoughts and pure relationship defeats arrogance and hatred. We all know where diamond is found. The world is facing crisis in terms of pure love and humanity, trustworthiness and belief systems have collapsed. The world is facing the crisis of racism, terrorism and protectionism. When we think of these barriers in the society we tend to forget that there are many more social barriers that prevail across the world. The technical evolution has not ensured social evolution. The modern racism has taken a different form. The modern slavery has become illegal but it has risen in number although the percentage has reduced. In this pool of hatred and polluted world there are few beautiful souls who love each-other without any expectation. There are people who practice the best traits of a human being. This story is about purest form of love between a black boy and a white girl. The boy shows altruistic behavior and the girl reciprocates. The bonding towards each other is created naturally and not based on skin color, looks, financial strength or any other factor of this materialistic world. Collectively these young teens fight the racist attacks and then launch world wide campaign against racial discrimination. The story tells the truth how a rich successful person can also be practice racism because of his previos experience. The story speaks about true love which is rare in this world.

The book is about missing members of a family. It was considered that they died in a helicopter crash. The villa in which they lived was believed to be a haunted house. The city had forgotten them until a family shifted in that city and faced the ghosts. There were many accidents near the villa and the ghost was very angry on someone. Was it a murder or an accident? A very unorthodox style of crime and a very modern investigation makes it a very interesting book for the readers.

You will think about your job search in a new way and reduce your job search time by many months. As you journey through the book you will come across the chapter on effective job search weapons. We consider this a must read because in many ways job hunting is a battle that favors people with grit. My co-author and I can attest to the many failures and frustrations we faced in our own job search. One of the chapters we think most job seekers would find most beneficial is on the invisible (or hidden) job market. I always knew that some jobs got filled before being publicly advertised but I was shocked to learn that 80% jobs are not publicly advertised. The jobs that are not made public are what we call the invisible or hidden job market. Unfair, I hear you say. We agree. And it is even worse than that - of the remaining 20%, hiring managers may already have someone in mind before they are advertised. At this stage you are probably wondering when we would talk about resumes and cover letters. After all, this is supposed to be a career book. The chapter on resumes and cover letters gets to the point and shows you how to customize your resumes and cover letters to achieve maximum impact. In the 'ace the interview' chapter we show you a powerful technique to prepare and answer interview questions. The recommended STAR approach provides a framework that is both logical and easy to follow. Now that you have aced multiple interviews and received multiple job offers, how do you choose between jobs? How do you negotiate a fair salary? We have you fully covered here as well. You will learn about how to use the ZOPA (zone of possible agreement) and the reservation point to help you obtain the great salary you deserve. Your family, employer and the world are waiting to see the best of you and we know you aspire to the same as well. Therefore, unlike most career books we want you to reach beyond obtaining a job to mastering your job. We aptly conclude the book with a roadmap on how to master your job. We believe in you and think you should become a master at your job, no matter what it is. Your chances of fulfilling your dreams will increase and the world would be a much better place.
