Introduction to Congestion Theory in Telephone Systems, Second Edition (North-Holland Studies in Telecommunication)
(This book is a completely revised edition of a classical ...)
This book is a completely revised edition of a classical work, and its aim is to present the study of stochastic processes describing the passage of telephone traffic through a switching system, and to introduce to telephone engineers the recent mathematical developments in the general Congestion Theory applicable to telephone traffic. The book forms a survey of selected theories and methods, which have been chosen in such a way as to give it a uniform logical structure based on the fundamental principles of the Theory of Stochastic Processes. This is essentially a text for engineers, and the mathematical rigour is often sacrificed for the benefit of simplicity and clarity. The result is a simplified but sufficiently general account of the most important theoretical results of Congestion Theory, and a presentation of Queueing Theory in its early development. Finally, a completely new chapter (Chapter 11) covers the author's work on Markovian Queues, indicating connections with probabilistic Potential Theory.

Ryszard Syski
Edit Profile
Career
His studies in mathematics started in London, at the Polish University Abroad (1946). He joined Automatic Telephone and Electric Company in London (1952). He got his Bachelor of Science (1954) and Doctor of Philosophy (1961) at University of London, on the dissertation Stochastic Process in Banach space and its Applications to Congestion Theory.
Encouraged by Thomas L. Saaty he moved to College Park, Maryland, joining the mathematics faculty of University of Maryland (1961–1999), founded the journal Stochastic Processes and their Applications (1973) and was fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.
Syski wrote over forty journal articles, often collaborating with notables such as Félix Pollaczek, Lajos Takács, Julian Keilson and Wim Cohen. Syski died of complications from a brain injury received during a fall.
