Performance Analysis of Complex Networks and Systems Van Piet Van Mieghem is an English-language textbook that focuses on mathematical, stochastic, and graph-theoretical methods for analyzing complex networks and systems. The book is suitable for professionals and graduate students who work on performance evaluation in networks and systems.
The content is divided into three parts: an overview of probability theory, the classical theory of stochastic processes such as Poisson, Markov, and queuing theory, and an extensive chapter on network science. The latter covers the common scaling laws that apply to a wide range of large complex networks, such as the internet, social networks, and infrastructure networks. These insights are essential for analyzing the performance and robustness of networks and systems.
The book includes exercises and worked solutions, making it very suitable as a study and reference work for performance analysis in communications engineering and telecom.
Topics:
- Mathematical and stochastic methods
- Graph theory and network science
- Complex networks and systems
- Applications in telecommunications and stochastic theory
