Notes for the Book: "Computer and Comunication Systems Performance Modelling" by Peter J. B. King

This book introduces the fundamental knowledge a student or professional should have around queuing theory. It provides the basic background of mathematical concepts such as probability theory, stochastic processes(Poison Processes, Markov Processes, Markov Chains, etc.), simple queues(M/M/1), single server(M/G/1) and multi server queues(M/M/c). Queuing problems and their significance in the field of system analysis and communication system performance is discussed. Several approaches of modeling and solving that kind of problems are presented, including algorithms and mathematical tools that are used commonly. Each chapter contains a bibliography which is very helpful for someone who is interested in further research. It is probably one of the first books that someone, who doesn't have a stable background in queuing theory and its relevant mathematical concepts, should read.
The book also includes a demonstration of some computational algorithms for product form queuing networks.
