| Aim: To practice the application of mathematical methods and models based on probability theory for performance evaluation of telecommunication and data communication systems and networks. This includes both switching systems and networks, as well as computer systems and data networks. Furthermore, to introduce principles of optimisation as a tool in solving planning and decision problems for systems and networks. |
