Beskrivning

This volume presents 32 invited chapters by researchers in this field of mathematics. The goal of the book is to bring together the work of theoreticians and applied researchers and provide a broad forum to share ideas and recent results. The collection describes and surveys theoretical developments and demonstrates some important applications in a variety of areas, including: applications to queueing theory; waiting time problems; applications to distribution theory; and applications to nonparametric statistics.
