Beginning with Jackson networks and ending with spatial queuing systems, this book describes several basic stochastic network processes, with the focus on network processes that have tractable expressions for the equilibrium probability distribution of the numbers of units at the stations.

From the reviews:
JOURNAL OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND STOCHASTIC ANALYSIS
"...integral to today’s development of analytical methods for queuing networks...[collects] an interesting summary of what one might view as the heart of network theory."
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION
"The book provides self-contained introductions to point processes and Palm probabilities, a point that I emphasize because these parts are extremely well-presented and might also be valuable for readers...

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In a stochastic network, such as those in computer/telecommunications and manufacturing, discrete units move among a network of stations where they are processed or served. Randomness may occur in the servicing and routing of units, and there may be queueing for services. This book describes several basic stochastic network processes, beginning with Jackson networks and ending with spatial queueing systems in which units, such as cellular phones, move in a space or region where they are served. The focus is on network processes that have tractable (closed-form) expressions for the equilibrium probability distribution of the numbers of units at the stations. These distributions yield network performance parameters such as expectations of throughputs, delays, costs, and travel times. The book is intended for graduate students and researchers in engineering, science and mathematics interested in the basics of stochastic networks that have been developed over the last twenty years. Assuming a graduate course in stochastic processes without measure theory, the emphasis is on multi-dimensional Markov processes. There is also some self-contained material on point processes involving real analysis. The book also contains rather complete introductions to reversible Markov processes, Palm probabilities for stationary systems, Little laws for queueing systems and space-time Poisson processes. This material is used in describing reversible networks, waiting times at stations, travel times and space-time flows in networks. 320 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9780387987736
