Download or read book Stochastic Discrete Event Systems written by Armin Zimmermann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-12 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stochastic discrete-event systems (SDES) capture the randomness in choices due to activity delays and the probabilities of decisions. This book delivers a comprehensive overview on modeling with a quantitative evaluation of SDES. It presents an abstract model class for SDES as a pivotal unifying result and details important model classes. The book also includes nontrivial examples to explain real-world applications of SDES.
