Performance Analysis of Complex Networks and Systems Hardback
by Piet (Technische Universiteit Delft, The Netherlands) Van Mieghem
Hardback
Description
This rigorous, self-contained book describes mathematical and, in particular, stochastic and graph theoretic methods to assess the performance of complex networks and systems.
It comprises three parts: the first is a review of probability theory; Part II covers the classical theory of stochastic processes (Poisson, Markov and queueing theory), which are considered to be the basic building blocks for performance evaluation studies; Part III focuses on the rapidly expanding new field of network science.
This part deals with the recently obtained insight that many very different large complex networks - such as the Internet, World Wide Web, metabolic and human brain networks, utility infrastructures, social networks - evolve and behave according to general common scaling laws.
This understanding is useful when assessing the end-to-end quality of Internet services and when designing robust and secure networks.
Containing problems and solved solutions, the book is ideal for graduate students taking courses in performance analysis.
