Complex Stochastic Systems and Engineering

Many topics that make up current research in statistics are also important to some branches of engineering sciences. This book, based on a conference, provides examples of the rich cross-fertilization evident between statistics and engineering. Current research and contributions from leading experts fall into four areas: chaos, image analysis, Monte Carlo methods, and communication networks, each featuring an overview of the papers to follow as well as a summary of the state of the research area. It will be of interest to those involved in statistics, electrical engineering, and computer science.
