In a stochastic network, such as those in computer/telecommunications and manufacturing, discrete units move among a network of stations where they are processed or served. Randomness may occur in the servicing and routing of units, and there may be queueing for services. This book describes several basic stochastic network processes, beginning with Jackson networks and ending with spatial queueing systems in which units, such as cellular phones, move in a space or region where they are served. The focus is on network processes that have tractable (closed-form) expressions for the equilibrium probability distribution of the numbers of units at the ... Read more

Reviews for Introduction to Stochastic Networks
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 ... Read more
