This brief presents a stochastic microscopic mobility model that describes the temporal changes of intervehicle distances. The model is consistent with simulated and empirical vehicle traffic patterns. Using stochastic lumpability methods, the proposed mobility model is mapped into an aggregated mobility model that describes the mobility of a group of vehicles. In addition, the proposed mobilit…
This book constitutes the post-proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Mobile Networks and Management, MONAMI 2015, held in Santander, Spain, in September 2015. The 16 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. In addition there appears one short and 5 invited papers. These are organized thematically in five parts starting with Cellular Network Management …
A concise and self-contained introduction to causal inference, increasingly important in data science and machine learning. The mathematization of causality is a relatively recent development, and has become increasingly important in data science and machine learning. This book offers a self-contained and concise introduction to causal models and how to learn them from data. After explaining th…

An introductory text for college or graduate course in computer networks, with a balance between practical matters and underlying principles. It covers the LAN, internetworking and transport layers, focusing primarily on TCP/IP.
The beginning of the 21st century has seen a rapid change from the industrial economy to a networked economy built on computers, connectivity, and human knowledge. The networked economy is characterized by rapidly changing market conditions and methods of commerce. Instead of leveraging human strength with machines as was done in the industr ial economy, the networked economy leverages human…
Nowadays, everyone is using the Internet. We have hooked our computers to the Internet, where we can access information and transmit messages. The Internet is a very large computer network. Computer networks are so important in our daily life that they have become indispensable to us. The closest cousin of a computer network is a transportation network, but computer networks are now taking…
