Introduction to Stochastic Networks

More about the book

Focusing on stochastic network processes, this book explores the movement of discrete units through various stations, highlighting randomness in servicing and routing. It covers a range of topics from Jackson networks to spatial queueing systems, emphasizing closed-form expressions for equilibrium probability distributions. These distributions provide insights into performance metrics like throughput and delays. Aimed at graduate students and researchers, the text assumes prior knowledge of stochastic processes and includes comprehensive discussions on Markov processes and queueing theories.
