Preface

The material presented in this manuscript was developed for different applications and published in many papers which are listed among the references. My colleagues recommended that I gather all this material into one manuscript, to have it readily available to students and researchers in applied probability. The Lecture Notes series is an appropriate location for such a project. I wrote first a draft which I gave to several colleagues to read and provide comments. I then revised the manuscript accordingly. I hope this manuscript is helpful to students and researchers in differe
