1972Research Interests
Queuing theory and performance modeling of computer and communication networks, specializing in linear algebraic queuing theory, the matrix-exponential distribution, and
correlated matrix-exponential sequences. These allow for performance models where the exponential and independence assumptions can not be made, yet preserves the ease of modeling with Markovian models.
Algorithms and Data Structures and the Complexity of their operations, Recreational Algorithms.
