Queues and stochastic networks are analyzed in this book with purely probabilistic methods. The purpose of these lectures is to show that general results from M

A compact, highly-motivated introduction to some of the stochastic models found useful in the study of communications networks.

Two of the most exciting topics of current research in stochastic networks are the complementary subjects of stability and rare events - roughly, the former dea

Networks of queues arise frequently as models for a wide variety of congestion phenomena. Discrete event simulation is often the only available means for studyi

This is a graduate level textbook that covers the fundamental topics in queuing theory. The book has a broad coverage of methods to calculate important probabil
