Abstract mathematical structures usually have a large number of models. Algorithms
based on operations and laws of such structures therefore have an identical form:
they are generic. This means that for each particular instance of the structure, only
the basic operations have to be adapted, whereas the overall algorithm remains the...
Queueing analysis is a vital tool used in the evaluation of system performance. Applications of queueing analysis cover a wide spectrum from bank automated teller machines to transportation and communications data networks.

A Petri net is a mathematical representation of a network. This book first introduces the basic models including time and stochastic extensions, in particular place-transition and high level Petri nets. Their modeling and design capabilities are illustrated by a set of representations of interest in operating and communication systems. The...
