Probability, Stochastic Processes, and Queueing Theory: The Mathematics of Computer Performance Modeling

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to probability and shastic processes, and shows how these subjects may be applied in computer performance modelling. The author's aim is to derive the theory in a way that combines its formal, intuitive, and applied aspects so that students may apply this indispensable tool in a variety of different settings. Readers are assumed to be familiar with elementary linear algebra and calculus, including the concept of limit, but otherwise this boo…
