Wim Cohen has made important contributions to the theory of stochastic processes, queueing theory, teletraffic and performance evaluation.

Part I consists of survey papers which present a broad picture of the developments in several areas of queueing theory and performance evaluation. Parts II-V contain research papers dealing with problems of current interest - the Single Server Queue, analytic methods, queueing networks and their applications to communication and computer systems, and various topics in probability and statistics with implications for queueing theory.
