.Fundamentals of Queueing Theory by: Donald Gross, John F. Shortle, James M. Thompson, Carl M. Harris July 25, 2008 Fundamentals of Queueing Theory (third edition) by D. Gross and C. Harris is THE classic queueing text book. It is up-to-date, thorough, rigorous, intuitive, and even fun to read (for the mathematically inclined). This book can be read at different levels, none of them easy. It is intended for an audience of graduate students in operations research, industrial engineering, management science, or mathematics. There are other excellent queueing books out there, but this has to be the overall best seller! Highly recommended. >>See More Reviews & Details on Fundamentals of Queueing Theory |

.The Second Gun by: J. M. Thompson, Fred Bean, James Clifton Cobb 2002-05 A pretty good western story, set on the border of Arkansas and the Indian Territory in the 1890s. It is a good read, however, it is pure fiction. If you are looking to actually learn about the historic characters portrayed in the book, go to the library and check out a history book. This novel strays from the truth in a pretty wide manner. All in all, it is a fun story! >>See More Reviews & Details on The Second Gun |

.Models for Investors in Real World Markets by: James R. Thompson, Edward E. Williams, M. Chapman III Findlay November 01, 2002 When I looked at the cover of this book, I knew it was going to be contrarian. It shows volatility moving in the opposite direction to growth. Looking inside the book, I found the cover figure in Chapter 9 where it was described as volatility versus growth for 75 years of the Ibbotson Index starting in 1926. I looked at the Ibbotson table, and, indeed with the authors' eleven outlier years eliminated, the correlation is still negative (-.142). (With all 75 years included, I found the correlation to be (-.317).) At any rate, the Markowitzian notion of finding how large you can stand for volatility to be and then finding the portolio which maximizes growth is stood on its head. The authors come up with an alternative to the Markowitz approach ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Models for Investors in Real World Markets |

.Performance and Fault Management by: Paul L. Della Maggiora, Kent J. Phelps, Christopher E. Elliott, James M. Thompson, Robert L. Pavone June 22, 2000 I like the book for the following reasons and many more: -covers both routers & switches -covers the show commands as well as the equivalent SNMP objects -tells me the inside information (e.g.) Which ver of IOS started supporting sub-interfaces, IOS hidden commands -tells me how I can leverage applications like HpOV NNM, MRTG etc And it tells all this and more in a simple language (e.g.) The chapter on monitoring CPU & Memory resources explains lucidly how one can be proactive about monitoring these 2 key elements. The chapter on VLAN management is another good example. One of the topics it covers is about monitoring spanning tree topology changes, how you can use community string indexing to get vlan information for each ...
