Short description A stochastic process is any process governed by laws of probability, ranging from the genetic probability of having brown eyes, to the chances of a line of cars passing a specific highway point. This book provides information on the latest techniques and statistical Markov process theory used in the control of queuing systems (e.g. using statistics and mathematics to solve congestion problems such as telephone or air traffic).
