Synopsis: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO THE CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS OF QUEUING THEORY AND TRAFFIC THEORY Network Traffic Engineering: Stochastic Models and Applications provides an advanced level queuing theory guide for students with a strong mathematical background who are interested in analytic modeling and performance assessment of service system networks, with a focus on communication networks. The text begins with the basics of queuing theory before moving on to more advanced levels. Examples and applications are a key part of the material. The topics covered in the book are derived from cutting-edge research, project development, teaching activity, and discussions on the subject. They include applications of queuing and traffic theory in: Cellular networks Wi-Fi networks Ad-hoc and vehicular networks Congestion control in the Internet The distinguished author seeks to show how insight into practical and real-world problems can be gained by means of quantitative modeling. Perfect for graduate and PhD students of engineering and science in the field of Information and Communication Technologies, including computer, telecommunications, and electrical engineering, computer science, data science, Network Traffic Engineering offers a supremely practical approach, grounded on a solid theoretical foundation, to a rapidly developing field of study and industry.
