International Conference on Applied Probability Models for Complex Stochastic Systems, Held at Jane S. McKimmon Center, North Carolina State University Raleigh, North Carolina on January 8-9, 1981.
Abstract
The purpose of the conference was to bring together several prominent mathematicians and engineers from Europe and the U.S. with common interests in applied probability models for complex stochastic systems, to interchange ideas with one another and with faculty, students, and researchers at the universities and research organizations in the Research Triangle area. Primary emphasis was placed on two topics: (1) distribution-free analysis of complex stochastic systems; and (2) optimal control of complex stochastic systems. This emphasis was motivated by the need for mathematical models to help describe and control such complex stochastic systems as networks of queues, such as arise in computer and communication systems and industrial job shops, and operating systems composed of parts subject to maintenance, failure, and replacement, such as arise in aerospace and military applications.
