SCOPE
Communication systems continue to expand rapidly in terms of traffic volume, number of users and number of applications and services. The use of both the Internet and wireless services is explosively growing and is expected to keep changing and expanding with the emergence of new transmission technologies and the convergence of wireless and Internet accesses. Future networks are thus expected to deal with a variety of new applications and a diverse range of Quality-of-Service requirements. Communication networks not only become larger and more ubiquitous, but also increasingly complex. The analysis of the existing networks and the design of new ones is thus crucial and, not surprisingly, these research fields have attracted a great deal of attention from leading communication-service providers and from international academic research groups all over the world.
Stochastics is a mathematical discipline that models uncertainty in terms of random variables and processes and develops techniques to analyse random dynamical systems. It finds particular relevance and resonance when applied to telecommunication engineering: the size of the systems, the complexity of the underlying technologies and the randomness of the traffic prevent the use of straightforward deterministic computational methods or simulations. These observations have raised the need for the development and analysis of quantitative stochastic models to predict and control information and communication systems.
The workshop is the second one in the series named YEQT meetings, organised within the framework of EURANDOM’s programme ’Queueing and Performance Analysis’. YEQT stands for Young European Queueing Theorists. The main goal of these meetings is to bring together young researchers in various related fields. A very successful first meeting was devoted to transient and asymptotic analysis of queueing systems. It was a very fruitful meeting that allowed young researchers to meet, learn about each other’s work and have numerous discussions. Despite a different scope of the second meeting, it is our intention to again gather a large group of promising researchers at EURANDOM and provide them with an opportunity to spend a very useful and interesting time together.
