The culmination of a half century’s work from the most distinguished researchers in the communications and networking field.

The IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) culled five decades’ worth of articles from its various journals to present a thorough, single-volume retrospective of the most notable works. The Best of the Best: Fifty Years of Communications and Networking Research presents 56 papers divided into two categories Communications and Networking and arranged chronologically.

This selection of key journal research papers, reprinted from Communications Society Transactions and Journals, is a compilation of the most outstanding papers published by ComSoc Cerf, Kahn, Kleinrock, Lucky, Baran, Viterbi, and many more.

For everyone interested in communications and networking research, The Best of the Best serves as a guide to the field’s history and as a benchmark for future research.
