About this title

Synopsis

Communication networks underpin our modern world, and provide fascinating and challenging examples of large-scale stochastic systems. This compact introduction to some of the stochastic models found useful in the study of communication networks is ideal for graduate students wishing to understand this important area of application.

About the Authors

Frank Kelly is Professor of the Mathematics of Systems at the University of Cambridge. His main research interests are in random processes, networks and optimization. He is especially interested in applications to the design and control of networks and to the understanding of self-regulation in large-scale systems.

Elena Yudovina is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Michigan. Her research interests are in applications of queueing theory. She received her PhD from the University of Cambridge, where her interest in the subject was sparked by a course on stochastic networks taught by Frank Kelly.
