This book provides information on the latest techniques and statistical Markov process theory used in the control of queuing systems (e.g.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is much to appreciate about his book. It is well written and thoughtfully organized and nicely integrates theory with computation. Its orientation toward SDP theory for buffer control will certainly interest scientists seeking solutions to communication network problems.
