Abstract
This first introductory chapter gives an overview of the material contained in this textbook. On a chapter-by-chapter basis it is pointed out what topics are included, and in addition how they relate to each other. At a high level, the book subsequently addresses a transform-based analysis of various workload-related metrics in Lévy-driven queues, asymptotics in various limiting regimes, simulation techniques, non-standard queues and networks, applications in communication networks and finance, and numerical inversion techniques.
