The aim of the stochastic network calculus is to comprehend statistical multiplexing and
scheduling of non-trivial traffic sources in a framework for end-to-end analysis of multi-node …

Providing performance guarantees is one of the most important issues for future
telecommunication networks. This book describes theoretical developments in performance …

Statistical performance evaluation has assumed an increasing amount of importance as we
seek to design more and more sophisticated communication and information processing …

The authors are concerned with finding the magnitudes of applied moment and force which
will cause a robot finger to slip on the surface of a grasped object. Friction and contact …

Heterogeneous network traffic possesses diverse statistical properties which include
complex temporal correlation and non-Gaussian distributions. A challenge to modeling …

This article presents a method for the computation of the equivalent bandwidth of an
aggregate of heterogeneous self-similar sources, as well as the time scales of interest for …

By deploying time series analysis, Fourier transform, functional analysis, min-plus
convolution, and fractional order systems and noise, this book proposes fractal traffic …

Fractional Brownian motion (fBm) emerged as a useful model for self-similar and long-range
dependent aggregate Internet traffic. Asymptotic, respectively, approximate performance …

Buffer management in queuing systems plays an important role in addressing the tradeoff
between efficiency measured in terms of overall packet loss and fairness measured in terms …

Communication networks, in particular the Internet, have become a pivotal part of our life.
