Stochastic Modeling and the Theory of Queues

Rating:
Summary: Stochastic Modelling
Review: THis book deal comprehensively about stochastic process and queues. The book starts with refreshing probability theory. It has indepth details about renewal theory, explanation of renewal theorems & regenerative processes. Examples for those processes are also well said. Then the book turns its attention to Discrete Time Markov Chains and has carried out indepth explanation for DTMC with suitable examples and the excercises are really a fun to solve. Then the author turns his attention to Continuous TIme Markov Process and explains in detail about CTMC with examples. Queueing theory is dealt with by giving treatment to Markovian queues first, then to M/G/1, G/M/1 and G/G/1. Also queues in tandem are well discussed.
