   abstract    = {Network Calculus is a set of recent developments, which
                 provide a deep insight into flow problems encountered in
                 networking. It can be viewed as the system theory that
                 applies to computer networks. Contrary to traditional
                 system theory, it relies on max-plus and min-plus
                 algebra. In this paper, we show how a simple but
                 important fixed-point theorem (residuation theorem in
                 min-plus algebra) can be successfully applied to a number
                 of problems in networking, such as window flow control,
                 multimedia smoothing, and bounds on loss rates.},
