Probability and Stochastic Processes with Applications to Communications, Systems and Networks, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues, 

This Special Issue is devoted to probability, statistics, stochastic processes, and their different applications in systems and networks analysis. The Special Issue will include studies that focus on the analysis and applications of different queuing models, which develop from general approaches to modeling queuing systems and networks, including the analysis of probabilistic and statistical methods in telecommunication, original approaches to asymptotic analyses of queuing networks under large-load conditions, and the calculation of distributions in retrial queuing systems. We welcome research on general complex networks and their structures, e.g., topology and graph theory; mathematical methods and models in smart cities; exclusive statistical methods, such as statistical estimates in bio/ecology, medicine, neural networks; and studies that estimate parameters in complex technical systems, etc.

General topics include but are not limited to the following:

1. General methods in complex networks and their structure analysis;
2. Mathematical methods and stochastic models in smart cities;
3. Statistical problems in ecological networks;
4. Parameter estimation in complex systems;
5. Analysis and applications of different queuing models;
6. Polling systems and Jackson networks in random environments;
7. Probabilistic and stochastic analysis in telecommunication systems;
8. Risk analysis in complex technical systems.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
