Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews:

"The Workshop Stochastic Models and Optimization … in May 2001, forms the basis of the present volume. 14 papers from about 60 presentations at the workshop were selected and thoroughly revised making self-contained chapters of a book for a broad audience. It highlighted some recent advances in applied probability achieved mainly by scientists with Chinese background. … The book seems to be very suitable for seminar studies at the graduate level."
