    Volume: 2072002; 217 pp
    MSC: Primary 60

    This volume is dedicated to F. I. Karpelevich, an outstanding Russian mathematician who made important contributions to applied probability theory. The book contains original papers focusing on several areas of applied probability and its uses in modern industrial processes, telecommunications, computing, mathematical economics, and finance.

    It opens with a review of Karpelevich's contributions to applied probability theory and includes a bibliography of his works. Other articles discuss queueing network theory, in particular, in heavy traffic approximation (fluid models).

    The book is suitable for graduate students, theoretical and applied probabilists, computer scientists, and engineers.

    Readership

    Graduate students, theoretical and applied probabilists, computer scientists, and engineers.
