Realization Probabilities by Xi-Ren Cao

The theory of the operation of many modern man-made discrete event systems such as manufacturing systems, computer and communications networks largely belongs in the domain of queuing theory and operations research. However, some recent research indicates that the evolution of these man-made systems demonstrates dynamic features that are similar to those of natural physical systems. This monograph presents a multidisciplinary approach to the study of discrete event systems, and is complementary to textbooks in queuing and control systems theories.

Professor Xi-Ren Cao gained his Masters degree in engineering and PhD in applied mathematics from Harvard University in 1982 and 1984 respectively. He has worked in an academic position at numerous institutions, including as a visiting professor at both the University of Massachusetts and the University of Maryland, a chair professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and his current position of Chair Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He has published 125 peer-reviewed journal papers, 12 invited book chapters, and three books in areas related to stochastic and discrete control. He was Editor-in-Chief for Discrete Event Dynamic Systems: Theory and Applications from 2005 to 2014. He has extensive industrial experiences with Digital Equipment Corporation, Massachusetts, and AT&T Labs. He is Fellow of IEEE and IFAC.
