Modern trends in applied probability: an additional paper in the collection of overview papers

摘要

This volume includes an invited overview paper as part of a special issue which arose out of the 20th INFORMS-APS conference. The conference was held in Brisbane, Australia, in July 2019, and the next edition is scheduled to be run in Nancy, France, in 2022. Following the Brisbane conference, a call to prepare overview papers on modern trends in applied probability was made and several overview papers have already appeared in this journal. These include an overview by Kristy Gardner and Rhonda Righter dealing with product form FCFS systems; an overview by Jinsheng Chen, Jing Dong, and Pengyi Shi dealing with skill-based routing; and an overview by Azam Asanjarani, Yoni Nazarathy, and Peter Taylor dealing with parameter and state estimation in queues.
