Queueing Theory and Its Applications (Cwi Monographs)

This Liber Amicorum honors a man whose ideas and results have to a large extent shaped queueing theory in its present form. Wim Cohen has made important contributions to the theory of stochastic processes, queueing theory, teletraffic and performance evaluation. The twenty invited papers, from his friends and colleagues, are grouped into five parts. Part I consists of survey papers which present a broad picture of the developments in several areas of queueing theory and performance evaluation. Parts II-V contain research papers dealing with problems of current interest - the Single Server Queue, analytic methods, queueing networks and their applications to communication and computer systems, and various topics in probability and statistics with implications for queueing theory.
