With more than 150,000 Japanese restaurants around the world, Japanese cuisine has become truly global. Through the transnational culinary mobilities of migrant entrepreneurs, workers, ideas and capital, Japanese cuisine spread and adapted to international tastes. But this expansion is also entangled in culinary politics, ranging from authenticity claims and status competition among restaurateurs and consumers to societal racism, immigration policies, and soft power politics that have shaped the transmission and transformation of Japanese cuisine. Such politics has involved appropriation, oppression, but also cooperation across ethnic lines. Ultimately, the restaurant is a continually reinvented imaginary of Japan represented in concrete form to consumers by restaurateurs, cooks, and servers of varied nationalities and ethnicities who act as cultural intermediaries.The Global Japanese Restaurant: Mobilities, Imaginaries, and Politics uses an innovative global perspective and rich ethnographic data on six continents to fashion a comprehensive account of the creation and reception of the "global Japanese restaurant" in the modern world. Drawing heavily on untapped primary sources in multiple languages, this book centers on the stories of Japanese migrants in the first half of the twentieth century, and then on non-Japanese chefs and restaurateurs from Asia, Africa, Europe, Australasia, and the Americas whose mobilities, since the mid-1900s, have been reshaping and spreading Japanese cuisine. The narrative covers a century and a half of transnational mobilities, global imaginaries, and culinary politics at different scales. It shifts the spotlight of Japanese culinary globalization from the "West" to refocus the story on Japan's East Asian neighbors and highlights the growing role of non-Japanese actors (chefs, restaurateurs, suppliers, corporations, service staff) since the 1980s. These essays explore restaurants as social spaces, creating a readable and compelling history that makes original contributions to Japan studies, food studies, and global studies. The transdisciplinary framework will be a pioneering model for combining fieldwork and archival research to analyze the complexities of culinary globalization.

An abstraction layer for multiple home networking technologies that provides acommon interface to widely deployed home networking technologies is defined in this standard:IEEE 1901(TM) over power lines, IEEE 802.11(TM) for wireless, Ethernet over twisted pair cable, andMoCA 1.1 over coax. Additional network technologies are supported by an extensible mechanismusing an IEEE OUI and an XML-formatted document. Connectivity selection for transmission ofpackets arriving from any interface or application is supported by the 1905 abstraction layer.Modification to the underlying home networking technologies is not required by the 1905abstraction layer, and hence it does not change the behavior or implementation of existing homenetworking technologies. The 1905 abstraction layer is between layers 2 and 3 and abstracts theindividual details of each interface, aggregates available bandwidth, and facilitates seamlessintegration. The 1905 abstraction layer also facilitates end-to-end quality of service (QoS) whilesimplifying the introduction of new devices to the network, establishing secure connections,extending network coverage, and facilitating advanced network management features includingdiscovery, path selection, autoconfiguration, and QoS negotiation.
