Stochastic networks describe the movements of units among nodes in a network. There are applications to telecommunication systems, warehousing, logistics, and computer systems. The audience includes researchers and graduate students in applied probability, operations research, industrial engineering, computer science, mathematics, and statistics.

Review

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 not particularly interested in stochastic networks...Serfozo has certainly written a book that is unique in its choice of topics and captures the most recent developments in research in stochastic networks. I recommend it to all mathematically interested readers in this area. I found the book extremely well written, with many insightful explanations that make it a pleasure to read. The notations used are very elegant and intuitive...thoroughly edited with very few typographical errors."
