Stochastic Processes and their Applications Proceedings of the Symposium held in honour of Professor S.K. Srinivasan at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India, December 27–30, 1990 / edited by M.J. Beckmann, M.N. Gopalan, R. Subramanian.

A volume of this nature containing a collection of papers has been brought out to honour a gentleman - a friend and a colleague - whose work has, to a large extent, advanced and popularized the use of stochastic point processes. Professor Srinivasan celebrated his sixt̃ first 1:!irth d̃ on December...
