Queueing analysis is a vital tool used in the evaluation of systemperformance. Applications of queueing analysis cover a widespectrum from bank automated teller machines to transportation andcommunications data networks.
Fully revised, this second edition of a popular book containsthe significant addition of a new chapter on Flow & CongestionControl and a section on Network Calculus among other new sectionsthat have been added to remaining chapters. An introductory text,Queueing Modelling Fundamentals focuses on queueingmodelling techniques and applications of data networks, examiningthe underlying principles of isolated queueing systems. This bookintroduces the complex queueing theory in simple language/proofs toenable the reader to quickly pick up an overview to queueing theorywithout utilizing the diverse necessary mathematical tools. Itincorporates a rich set of worked examples on its applications tocommunication networks.
Features include:
* Fully revised and updated edition with significant new chapteron Flow and Congestion Control as-well-as a new section on NetworkCalculus
* A comprehensive text which highlights both the theoreticalmodels and their applications through a rich set of workedexamples, examples of applications to data networks and performancecurves
* Provides an insight into the underlying queuing principles andfeatures step-by-step derivation of queueing results
* Written by experienced Professors in the field
Queueing Modelling Fundamentals is an introductory textfor undergraduate or entry-level post-graduate students who aretaking courses on network performance analysis as well as thosepracticing network administrators who want to understand theessentials of network operations. The detailed step-by-stepderivation of queueing results also makes it an excellent text forprofessional engineers.
