This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to probability
and stochastic processes, and shows how these subjects may be
applied in computer performance modeling. The author's aim is to
derive probability theory in a way that highlights the
complementary nature of its formal, intuitive, and applicative
aspects while illustrating how the theory is applied in a variety
of settings. Readers are assumed to be familiar with elementary
linear algebra and calculus, including being conversant with
limits, but otherwise, this book provides a self-contained approach
suitable for graduate or advanced undergraduate students. The first
half of the book covers the basic concepts of probability,
including combinatorics, expectation, random variables, and
fundamental theorems. In the second half of the book, the reader is
introduced to stochastic processes. Subjects covered include
renewal processes, queueing theory, Markov processes, matrix
geometric techniques, reversibility, and networks of queues.
Examples and applications are drawn from problems in computer
performance modeling. Throughout, large numbers of exercises of
varying degrees of difficulty will help to secure a reader's
understanding of these important and fascinating subjects.
