Provides a comprehensive introduction to probability, stochastic processes and statistics

This book covers fundamental concepts in probability and statistics, and relates these concepts to
computer science and engineering. The author begins with a five-chapter-long coverage of probability
theory designed for a one-semester introductory course on applied probability. Real-world examples and
problems are used to help readers understand applied probability concepts. Chapters six though nine in
turn are designed to be the core of an introductory course on stochastic processes and their applications.
The remaining two chapters discuss statistical interference and regression that can form a core of a course
on statistics.

 Theory and applications of Markov chains to model reliability, availability, performance and
performability of computer systems and networks are extensively discussed
 Numerical solution techniques for Markov chains and stochastic Petri nets as a means of
automatically generating large Markov chains are discussed
 Applications include, fault tolerant and dependable computing, real-time systems, cellular
wireless systems, and software reliability
 Includes over 200 in-text examples as well as self-study exercises for each section
 Provides access to a book companion website with an instructor’s manual and power point slides

Probability and Statistics with Reliability, Queuing and Computer Science Applications, 2nd Edition is
written for senior undergraduate and graduate students interested in electrical and computer
engineering, reliability engineering, and applied mathematics. This book will also be of interest to
practicing engineers and researchers in these areas.
