Probability, Stochastic Processes, and Queueing Theory
The Mathematics of Computer Performance Modeling
Inbunden, Engelska, 1995

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to probability and stochastic 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 book provides a self-contained approach suitable for graduate or advanced undergraduate students. The first half of the book covers the basic concepts of probability including expectation, random variables, and fundamental theorems. In the second half of the book the reader is introduced to stochastic processes. Subjects covered include renewal processes, queueing theory, Markov processes, and reversibility as it applies to networks of queues. Examples and applications are drawn from problems in computer performance modelling.

The goal of this book is to showcase the beauty of mathematics as revealed in nine topics of discrete mathematics. In each chapter, properties are explored through a series of straightforward questions that terminate with results that lie at the doorstep of a field of study. Each step along the way is elementary and requires only algebraic manipulation. This frames the wonder of mathematics and highlights the complex world that lies behind a series of simple, mathematical, deductions.Topics addressed include combinatorics, unifying properties of symmetric functions, the Golden ratio as it leads to k-bonacci numbers, non-intuitive and surprising results found in a simple coin tossing game, the playful, trick question aspect of modular systems, exploration of basic properties of prime numbers and derivations of bewildering results that arise from approximating irrational numbers as continued fraction expansions. The Appendix contains the basic tools of mathematics that are used in the text along with a numerous list of identities that are derived in the body of the book.The mathematics in the book is derived from first principles. On only one occasion does it rely on a result not derived within the text. Since the book does not require calculus or advanced techniques, it should be accessible to advanced high school students and undergraduates in math or computer science. Senior mathematicians might be unfamiliar with some of the topics addressed in its pages or find interest in the book's unified approach to discrete math.

This volume contains the complete set of tutorial paperspresented at the 16th IFIP (International Federation forInformation Processing) Working Group 7. 3 InternationalSymposium on Computer Performance Modelling, Measurement andEvaluation, and a number of tutorial papers presented at the1993 ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) SpecialInterest Group METRICS Conference on Measurement andModeling of Computer Systems. The principal goal of the volume is to present an overviewof recent results in the field of modeling and performanceevaluation of computer and communication systems. The widediversity of applications and methodologies included in thetutorials attests to the breadth and richness of currentresearch in the area of performance modeling. The tutorialsmay serve to introduce a reader to an unfamiliar researcharea, to unify material already known, or simply toillustrate the diversity of research in the field. Theextensive bibliographies guide readers to additional sourcesfor further reading.
