Matrix-analytic methods theory and applications : proceedings of the fourth international conference : Adelaide, Australia, 14-16 July 2002 /
Matrix-analytic methods are fundamental to the analysis of a family of Markov processes rich in structure and of wide applicability. They are extensively used in the modelling and performance analysis of computer systems, telecommunication networks, network protocols and many other stochastic system...
