      abstract = {"While there are some sporadic journal articles on  socio-technical networks, readers need an integrated  resource discussing the STN design. This book provides a  complete introduction to the fundamentals of  socio-technical networks, including its definition,  historical background, and significance. The authors  provide basic network architecture from the OSI model  perspective and address some challenging design issues. The  text also covers all major network protocol design in a  typical STN and the application of wireless networks such  as sensor networks, WiMAX, etc. in STN access. The book  presents STN case studies from healthcare, virtual  communities"--},
