advanced treatment April 2, 2005

Another advanced and well written technical offering from Springer. Graduate students and researchers might enjoy Kushner's explanation of stochastic networks and his development of queuing theory. The treatment is sophisticated and demands a strong background in probability and statistics.
As a practical approach, he explains how often you have no other recourse but to solve the differential equations numerically. This method is shown with several examples, that help yield insight. (Though, of course, you should always strive to find analytic solutions.)
Kushner applies his analysis to several important cases. Most notably the modelling of the loads on a communication network.
