OBJECTIVES:  To provide necessary basic concepts in probability and random processes for applications     such as random signals, linear systems in communication engineering.  To understand the basic concepts of probability, one and two dimensional random variables and to introduce some standard distributions applicable to engineering which can describe real life phenomenon.   To understand the basic concepts of random processes which are widely used in IT fields.  To understand the concept of queueing  models and apply in engineering.  To understand the significance of advanced queueing  models.   To provide the required mathematical support in real life problems and develop probabilistic models which can be used in several areas of science and engineering.


UNIT I  PROBABILITY AND RANDOM   VARIABLES                                                          12 Probability – Axioms of probability – Conditional probability – Baye‘s theorem - Discrete and continuous random variables – Moments – Moment generating functions – Binomial, Poisson,  Geometric, Uniform, Exponential  and Normal distributions.


UNIT II  TWO - DIMENSIONAL   RANDOM   VARIABLES                                                   12 Joint distributions – Marginal and conditional distributions – Covariance – Correlation and linear regression – Transformation of random variables – Central limit theorem (for independent and identically distributed random variables).

UNIT III          RANDOM PROCESSES                                                                                        12 Classification – Stationary process – Markov process - Poisson process – Discrete parameter Markov chain – Chapman Kolmogorov equations – Limiting distributions.

UNIT IV        QUEUEING MODELS                                                                                             12 Markovian queues – Birth and death processes – Single and multiple server queueing models – Little‘s formula - Queues with finite waiting rooms – Queues with impatient customers : Balking and reneging.   UNIT V  ADVANCED QUEUEING MODELS 12 Finite source models - M/G/1 queue – Pollaczek Khinchin formula  - M/D/1 and M/EK/1 as special cases –   Series queues – Open Jackson networks.

                                                                               
TOTAL :  60 PERIODS  
OUTCOMES: Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to:    Understand the fundamental knowledge of the concepts of probability and have knowledge   of  standard distributions which can describe real life phenomenon.    Understand the basic concepts of one and two dimensional random variables and apply in   engineering  applications.  Apply the concept of random processes in engineering disciplines.      Acquire skills in analyzing queueing models.    Understand and characterize phenomenon which evolve with respect to time  in a          probabilistic manner
