Discrete event systems are widespread in our modern society and we rely heavily on their proper design, operation, and performance. This field of study focuses on the tasks involving large scheduling problems such as manufacturing systems, the flow of data in computer networks and air traffic control. This book analyzes the stability of these systems with applications to almost all of the important areas. Discrete event systems are widespread in society and we rely heavily on their proper design, correct operation, and performance. Tasks which involve large scheduling problems such as manufacturing systems, the flow of data in computer networks and air traffic control are the focus of this field of study. Passino and Burgess have written an analysis of the stability of such systems with applications to almost all of the important areas.
