This book is the proceedings of the Workshop on the Performance
Engineering of Computer and Telecommunications Systems. The
workshop Was held at Liverpool John Moores University, England on
the 5th and 6th September 1995. The workshop follows a series
organised by the British Computer Society (BCS) Special Interest
Group on Performance Engineering. The workshop addressed most
techniques and experieI1ces in the Engineering of Computer and
Telecommunications Systems that provide a guaranteed quality of
service. Techniques such as measurements, simulation, and
analytical models and their applications to ATM networks,
Multimedia Systems, Distributed Systems, Access and Wide Area
Networks were presented. In addition a number of papers dealt with
advances in the development of analytical models, simulation
architectures and the application of formal methods, stich as
Process Algebra, to the specification and building of performance
biased computer systems. The book is suitable for systems
designers, engineers, researchers and postgraduate students
interested in the design and implementation of Computer Systems,
Networks and Telecommunications. Many people assisted in the
arrangements and success of this workshop. I would like to thank
them all and in particular the reviewers. I would also like to
particularly thank our industrial sponsors GPT Public Networks
Group, Liverpool and BICC Cables, Chester, England for their
generous financial and material support.
Focussing on stochastic models for the spread of infectious
diseases in a human population, this book is the outcome of a
two-week ICPAM/CIMPA school on "Stochastic models of epidemics"
which took place in Ziguinchor, Senegal, December 5-16, 2015. The
text is divided into four parts, each based on one of the courses
given at the school: homogeneous models (Tom Britton and Etienne
Pardoux), two-level mixing models (David Sirl and Frank Ball),
epidemics on graphs (Viet Chi Tran), and statistics for epidemic
models (Catherine Laredo). The CIMPA school was aimed at PhD
students and Post Docs in the mathematical sciences. Parts (or all)
of this book can be used as the basis for traditional or individual
reading courses on the topic. For this reason, examples and
exercises (some with solutions) are provided throughout.
A collection of encouraging, entertaining, and enlightening
stories. Whether fact or fiction, they present experiences that are
true-to-life and rewarding. Those who love God and strive to
fulfill his purpose have the promise that all things will work
together for good. But in the midst of our plight, we often
struggle to see how that's possible and need to read how others
have survived.
