NEURAL NETWORKS IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS consists of a tightly edited 
collection of chapters that provides an overview of a wide range 
of telecommunications tasks being addressed with neural networks.  
These tasks range from the design and control of the underlying 
transport network to the filtering, interpretation and manipulation 
of the transported media.  The chapters focus on specific applications, 
describe specific solutions and demonstrate the benefits that neural 
networks can provide. By doing this, the authors have demonstrated 
why neural networks should be another tool in the telecommunications 
engineer's toolbox.
