Topics on Regenerative Processes
Regenerative processes are a popular subject in pure and applied probability, as well as in engineering (particularly simulation). This book provides important insight into new methods for investigating regenerative processes. Quantitative estimates play the key role in the book, and all developed methods support possibilities for obtaining such estimates, including probability metrics, test functions, crossing, and coupling. These methods are applied to a variety of problems, such as Markov chains, simulation, queueing systems, storage, and reliability. The book illustrates a unique application of the theory of probability metrics for examining regenerative processes, and it elaborates on the criteria required for uniform-in-time stability of wide sense regenerative processes. New accurate bounds of distribution functions of first occurrence times for regenerative models are also presented.
Stability Analysis of Regenerative Queueing Models
The stability analysis of stochastic models for telecommunication systems is an intensively studied topic. The analysis is, as a rule, a difficult problem requiring a refined mathematical technique, especially when one endeavors beyond the framework of Markovian models. The primary purpose of this book is to present, in a unified way, research into the stability analysis of a wide variety of regenerative queueing systems. It describes the theoretical foundations of this method, and then shows how it works with particular models, both classic ones as well as more recent models that have received attention. The focus lies on an in-depth and insightful mathematical explanation of the regenerative stability analysis method. The unique volume can serve as a textbook for students working in these and related scientific areas. The material is also of interest to engineers working in telecommunications field, who may be faced with the problem of stability of queueing systems.
Advances in Queueing Theory, Methods, and Open Problems
The progress of science and technology has placed Queueing Theory among the most popular disciplines in applied mathematics, operations research, and engineering. Although queueing has been on the scientific market since the beginning of this century, it is still rapidly expanding by capturing new areas in technology. Advances in Queueing provides a comprehensive overview of problems in this enormous area of science and focuses on the most significant methods recently developed. Written by a team of 24 eminent scientists, the book examines stochastic, analytic, and generic methods such as approximations, estimates and bounds, and simulation. The first chapter presents an overview of classical queueing methods from the birth of queues to the seventies. It also contains the most comprehensive bibliography of books on queueing and telecommunications to date. Each of the following chapters surveys recent methods applied to classes of queueing systems and networks followed by a discussion of open problems and future research directions. Advances in Queueing is a practical reference that allows the reader quick access to the latest methods.
