Ebook: Stochastic Processes in Queueing Theory

Stochastic Processes in Queueing Theory is a presentation of modern
queueing theory from a unifying structural viewpoint. The basic ap-
proach is to study the transient or limiting behaviour of the queueing
systems with the help of algorithms on which the corresponding se-
quences of arrival and service times depend. Since all members of a
class of systems are governed by the same algorithms, seemingly dis-
parate results can be seen to follow from the same property of a general
algorithm.

This English translation of a Russian book, published originally in 1972,
contains nearly a hundred pages of additional material, including several
detailed numerical examples, prepared by the author. The book is essen-
tial to every scientist interested in queueing theory and its applications
to his field of research.
