Performance Analysis of Communications Networks and Systems

Informationen zum Autor Piet F. A. Van Mieghem is a professor at the Delft University of Technology with a chair in telecommunication networks and is chairman of the Network Architectures and Services (NAS) group. His main research interests lie in new Internet-like architectures for future, broadband and QoS-aware networks and in the modelling and performance analysis of network behavior and complex infrastructures. Klappentext A rigourous and self-contained graduate text covering methods to assess the performance of networked systems. Zusammenfassung This rigourous and self-contained book describes mathematical and in particular! stochastic methods to assess the performance of networked systems. It concentrates on probability theory! classical theory of stochastic processes and the newer field of physics of networks. Containing problems and solutions! it is ideal for graduate courses in performance analysis. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Introduction; 2. Random variables; 3. Basic distributions; 4. Correlation; 5.
