"Probability, Combinatorics and Control" ed. by Andrey Kostogryzov, Victor Korolev

This book describes different probabilistic modeling methods and their applications in various areas, such as artificial intelligence, offshore platforms, social networks, and others.

Probabilistic and combinatorial techniques are often used for solving advanced problems.
This book aims to educate how modern probabilistic and combinatorial models may be created to formalize uncertainties; to train how new probabilistic models can be generated for the systems of complex structures; to describe the correct use of the presented models for rational control in systems creation and operation; and to demonstrate analytical possibilities and practical effects for solving different system problems on each life cycle stage.
