About this website
Welcome to the authors' website for the textbook: Communication Networks: An Optimization, Control, and Stochastic Networks Perspective. The website contains slides associated with some of the chapters of the book. We have also made available early versions of some of the book chapters. Since these are not the final versions of the book chapters, they may contain more typos than the final version of the book. For instructors who need the latex files for the slides, please email the authors (rsrikant AT illinois.edu and/or leiying AT umich.edu).
You can find/purchase a hard copy of the book on Amazon
