His numerous other books include Probability [translated by Dmitry M. Chibisov], Limit Theorems for Stochastic Processes [with Jean Jacod], Optimal Stopping Rules [translated by A.B. Aries], Stochastic Disorder Problems [translated by Andrei Iacob], and Statistics of Random Processes [with Robert S. Liptser].
Konstantin Samouylov received his PhD in Probability Theory from the Moscow State University, in 1985, and a Full Doctor of Sciences degree in Telecommunications from the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics in 2005. In 1985-1996, he held several positions at the Faculty of Science of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University), where he became a head of Telecommunications System Department in 1996. Since 2014, he has been the head of the Applied Probability and Informatics Department, and since 2017, he has also held the position of Director of Applied Mathematics and Communications Technology Institute (IAM&CT) at RUDN University. He was visiting professor/professor-research at Lappeenranta University of Technology and Helsinki University of Technology (Aalto), Finland; Moscow Technical University of Telecommunications and Informatics, Russia; Moscow International Higher Business School (Mirbis), Russia; and University of Pisa, Italy. He was a member of the ITU-T SG11 and IFIP TC6 WG 6.7. He has worked in a number of R&D projects within different frameworks, e.g., COST IRACON, projects of Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR), TEKES (Finland) and companies including Nokia, Telecom Finland, VTT, Rostelecom, etc. He is a member of editorial boards and reviewer of several scientific journals, and he is co-chair and TPC member of several international conferences. His current research interests include applied aspects of Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes, Queuing and teletraffic theory, performance analysis of 5G/5G+ networks, resource allocation in heterogeneous wireless networks, social networks, and big data analysis. He has authored and co-authored over 150 scientific and conference papers and six books. Prof. Samouylov's honors include the 2018 IEEE GLOBECOM Conference Best Paper Award.
