Stochastic Large-Scale Engineering Systems

By Tzafestas Copyright 1992

    This book focuses on the class of large-scale stochastic systems, which has dominated the attention of many academic and research groups. It discusses distributed-sensor networks, decentralized detection theory, and econometric models with integrated and decentralized policymakers.
