Résumé

This rigorous and self-contained book describes mathematical and, in particular, stochastic methods to assess the performance of networked systems.

It consists of three parts: the first is a review of probability theory; part II covers the classical theory of stochastic processes (Poisson, renewal, Markov and queueing theory) which are considered to be the basic building blocks for performance evaluation studies; part III focuses on the relatively new field of the physics of networks. This part deals with the recently obtained insight that many very different large complex networks-such as the internet, world wide Web, proteins, utility infrastructures, social networks-evolve and behave according to more general common scaling laws. This understanding is useful when assessing the end-to-end quality of communications services, for example in internet telephony, real-time video, and interacting games.

Containing problems and solutions, the book is ideal for graduate students taking courses in performance analysis.

L'auteur - Piet Van Mieghem

Piet Van Mieghem is a professor at the Delft university of Technology with a chair in telecommunication networks, and is chairman of the Network Architectures and Services (NAS) group. His main research interests lie in new internet-like architectures for future broadband and Qos-aware networks, and in the modeling and performance analysis of network behavior and complex infrastructures.
