Communication networks underpin our modern world, and provide fascinating and challenging examples of large-scale stochastic systems. Randomness arises in communication systems at many levels: for example, the initiation and termination times of calls in a telephone network, or the statistical structure of the arrival streams of packets at routers in the Internet. How can routing, flow control and connection acceptance algorithms be designed to work well in uncertain and random environments? This compact introduction illustrates how stochastic models can be used to shed light on important issues in the design and control of communication networks. It will appeal to readers with a mathematical background wishing to understand this important area of application, and to those with an engineering background who want to grasp the underlying mathematical theory. Each chapter ends with exercises and suggestions for further reading.

Review

`...illuminate(s) many features of current research, letting us see its concerns and its style.' Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series A, vol. 160, part 2, June 1997 --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

About the Author

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. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Not what I hoped for

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

When someone - me, for example - wants a quick introduction to a lightly traveled field of study, it's not easy. I know no one in the field, I want a beginner's primer, and the reviews and previews tell me next to nothing. So I flail, I grasp at a few titles that I think might help, and hope for the best.

(If you didn't know already, hope is not a plan.)

This book assembles a number of advanced research reports, current at the time of publication. Not the thing for someone who's barely sat on the bike, let alone taken off the training wheels. You might criticize this review for not addressing what it is within its subject matter; I reviewed it for what I needed from it. You, deciding what you need to know, should weigh your needs against mine in understanding this evaluation.
