There is much to appreciate about his book. It is well written and thoughtfully organized and nicely integrates theory with computation. Its orientation toward SDP theory for buffer control will certainly interest scientists seeking solutions to communication network problems. (Technometrics, August 2000, Vol. 42, No. 3)

Eine Zusammenstellung der Grundlagen der stochastischen dynamischen Programmierung (auch als Markov-Entscheidungsprozeß oder Markov-Ketten bekannt), deren Schwerpunkt auf der Anwendung der Queueing-Theorie liegt. Theoretische und programmtechnische Aspekte werden sinnvoll verknüpft; insgesamt neun numerische Programme zur Queueing-Steuerung werden im Text ausführlich diskutiert. Ergänzendes Material kann vom zugehörigen ftp-Server abgerufen werden. (12/98)
