Access Nets

The annual International Conference on Access Networks (AccessNets) aims to provide a forum that brings together researchers and scientists from academia as well as man- ers and engineers from industry to meet and exchange ideas and recent work on all aspects of access networks. AccessNets 2008 was the third edition of this event, which was successfully held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, during October 15–17, 2008.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Conference on Access Networks, AccessNets 2008, held in Las Vegas, NV, USA, in October 2008.
The 30 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers present original and fundamental research advances in the area of access networks, such as hybrid access networks, passive optical networks, fiber assisted wireless for broadband access networks, carrier ethernet and the evolving access networks, wireless access networks dsl networks dynamic spectrum management (dsm) successes, plc and dsl networks, as well as access network performance.

Net theory is a theory of systems organization which had its origins, about 20 years ago, in the dissertation of C. A. Petri [1]. Since this seminal paper, nets have been applied in various areas, at the same time being modified and theoretically investigated. In recent time, computer scientists are taking a broader interest in net theory.
