With new concepts emerging in recent literature, this is a timely update to a highly successful and well
established first edition. Queueing networks are particularly important as digital communications continue to
grow, and this timely text provides a thorough and comprehensive introduction to the concept of applying
mathematical queueing network theory to data communications. Completely revised and updated, new additions include:
- G-nets - generalized (or "Gelenbe") queueing networks which allow the analysis of on-line network control functions, such as traffic re-routing
- Discrete time queueing networks with applications to ATM networks
As leading authorities in this area, the authors focus on the practical approach where aspects of queueing theory
are applied directly to communications systems and networks. Included is a series of exercises and examples at the
end of each chapter, as well as a fully annotated bibliography.
