A fundamental principle of queueing theory is L= λW (Little's law), which states that the time-
average or expected time-stationary number of customers in a system is equal to the product …

The mathematical theory developed in this book finds its initial motivation in the modeling
and the analysis of the time behavior of a class of dynamic systems now often referred to as …

Queueing theory is a fascinating subject in Applied Probability for two con tradictory
reasons: it sometimes requires the most sophisticated tools of stochastic processes, and it …

We use the measured round trip delays of small UDP probe packets sent at regular time
intervals to analyze the end-to-end packet delay and loss behavior in the Internet. By varying …

We use the measured round trip delays of small UDP probe packets sent at regular time
intervals to characterize the end-to-end packet delay and loss behavior in the Internet. By …

Performance evaluation is often the critical part of evaluating the results of a research
project. Many of us are familiar with simulations, but it is frequently difficult to address …

We define" random trip", a generic mobility model for independent mobiles that contains as
special cases: the random waypoint on convex or non convex domains, random walk with …

There is much experimental evidence that network traffic processes exhibit ubiquitous
properties of self-similarity and long-range dependence, ie, of correlations over a wide …

Publisher Summary A point process is a model for describing the random numbers of
occurrences of a certain event in time intervals or of the numbers of points in regions of a …

We represent a data network as a set of links shared by a dynamic number of competing
flows. These flows are generated within sessions and correspond to the transfer of a random …
