This paper introduces a special collection of research contributions written to honour Professor Erol Gelenbe of his 70th birthday which was celebrated on September 20–25, 2015 at Imperial College in London where he holds the Dennis Gabor Professorship and is Head of the Intelligent Systems and Networks Group in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (see http://san.ee.ic.ac.uk/Gelenbe2015). All but three of the fourteen papers presented here were written by his students and descendants. These papers are centered on probability models related to computer systems and networks, an area where Erol plays a pioneering role in which he remains very active with many innovations and new directions that he has introduced in the last ten or twelve years. We first briefly review Erol's work in these areas, and then discuss each of the contributions that appear here together with their links to Erol's own published research.
