Leadershift
Marcel Latouche draws from his years of experience as an executive, consultant and lecturer to discuss leadership in general and more specifically its impact in the corporate world. With the economy in constant flux due to many factors, he calls for a change in the style and substance of leadership. This book is aimed to look at some values which people seem to have forgotten and attempts to bring them back into perspective to facilitate a new management style for the next millenium. LEADERSHIFT, is an informative, practical and indispensable study that attempts to dissect the essential issues affecting progress and human development. It will motivate the readers to make a shift in their leadership beliefs, whereby leaders stop doing but instead allow people to do. It will inspire change in corporate culture through the use of the four pillars of teamwork and the fostering of the five principles of trust.
I Said What?
I said What? Is the fourth book by Marcel Latouche. It is a collection of columns, articles, blogs and speeches dealing with policies and politics at different levels of government. All the material in the book is dated and provides an insight into the saying: “Those who ignore history are bound to repeat it”. Latouche’s background in economics and finance allows him to express his thoughts on matters concerning public sector finance and public policy. His style is oratory and his writing is simple and easy to follow. The material covered comprises challenges regarding local, provincial, and national governments in Canada. In addition he identifies the effect of international matters and issues concerning Canada’s largest trade partner and neighbor the United States of America, There is no conclusion in this book. Agree with the author or not, his belief that past is prologue, makes a compelling case to read this book, because much of what is deliberated is about being proactive instead of being reactive.
Matrix-analytic Methods: Theory And Applications - Proceedings Of The Fourth International Conference
Matrix-analytic methods are fundamental to the analysis of a family of Markov processes rich in structure and of wide applicability. They are extensively used in the modelling and performance analysis of computer systems, telecommunication networks, network protocols and many other stochastic systems of current commercial and engineering interest.This volume deals with: (1) various aspects of the theory of block-structured Markov chains; (2) analysis of complex queueing models; and (3) parameter estimation and specific applications to such areas as cellular mobile systems, FS-ALOHA, the Internet and production systems.
Performance of Communication Systems
Based on both theoretical investigations and industrial experience, this book provides an extensive approach to support the planning and optimization process for modern communication networks. The book contains a thorough survey and a detailed comparison of state-of-the-art numerical algorithms in the matrix-geometric field.
Computations with Markov Chains
Computations with Markov Chains presents the edited and reviewed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on the Numerical Solution of Markov Chains, held January 16--18, 1995, in Raleigh, North Carolina. New developments of particular interest include recent work on stability and conditioning, Krylov subspace-based methods for transient solutions, quadratic convergent procedures for matrix geometric problems, further analysis of the GTH algorithm, the arrival of stochastic automata networks at the forefront of modelling stratagems, and more. An authoritative overview of the field for applied probabilists, numerical analysts and systems modelers, including computer scientists and engineers.
Quasi-Stationary Phenomena in Nonlinearly Perturbed Stochastic Systems
The book is devoted to studies of quasi-stationary phenomena in nonlinearly perturbed stochastic systems. New methods of asymptotic analysis for nonlinearly perturbed stochastic processes based on new types of asymptotic expansions for perturbed renewal equation and recurrence algorithms for construction of asymptotic expansions for Markov type processes with absorption are presented. Asymptotic expansions are given in mixed ergodic (for processes) and large deviation theorems (for absorption times) for nonlinearly perturbed regenerative processes, semi-Markov processes, and Markov chains. Applications to analysis of quasi-stationary phenomena in nonlinearly perturbed queueing systems, population dynamics and epidemic models, and for risk processes are presented. The book also contains an extended bibliography of works in the area. It is an essential reference for theoretical and applied researchers in the field of stochastic processes and their applications and may be also useful for doctoral and advanced undergraduate students.
Perturbed Semi-Markov Type Processes I
This book is the first volume of a two-volume monograph devoted to the study of limit and ergodic theorems for regularly and singularly perturbed Markov chains, semi-Markov processes, and multi-alternating regenerative processes with semi-Markov modulation. The first volume presents necessary and sufficient conditions for weak convergence for first-rare-event times and convergence in the topology J for first-rare-event processes defined on regularly perturbed finite Markov chains and semi-Markov processes. The text introduces new asymptotic recurrent algorithms of phase space reduction. It also addresses both effective conditions of weak convergence for distributions of hitting times as well as convergence of expectations of hitting times for regularly and singularly perturbed finite Markov chains and semi-Markov processes. The book also contains a comprehensive bibliography of major works in the field. It provides an effective reference for both graduate students as well as theoretical and applied researchers studying stochastic processes and their applications.
Introduction to Matrix Analytic Methods in Stochastic Modeling
Presents the basic mathematical ideas and algorithms of the matrix analytic theory in a readable, up-to-date, and comprehensive manner.
Performance Evaluation of Complex Systems: Techniques and Tools
This book presents the tutorial lectures given by leading experts in the area at the IFIP WG 7.3 International Symposium on Computer Modeling, Measurement and Evaluation, Performance 2002, held in Rome, Italy in September 2002.The survey papers presented are devoted to theoretical and methodological advances in performance and reliability evaluation as well as new perspectives in the major application fields. Modeling and verification issues, solution methods, workload characterization, and benchmarking are addressed from the methodological point of view. Among the applications dealt with are hardware and software architectures, wired and wireless networks, grid environments, Web services, and real-time voice and video processing.This book is intended to serve as a state-of-the-art survey and reference for students, scientists, and engineers active in the area of performance and reliability evaluation.
