Author Description

"As an overview of fundamental modelling, stability, convergence, and estimation issues for discrete-event systems, this book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in applied mathematics, operations research, applied probability, and statistics. This book also will be of interest to practitioners of industrial, computer, transportation, and electrical engineering, because it provides an introduction to a powerful set of tools both for modelling and for simulation-based performance analysis."--BOOK JACKET.
