The study of how systems with limited resources distribute those resources to elements waiting in line, and how those elements respond. Examples include data traversing computer networks, phone calls ...

Queuing theory is the mathematical analysis of waiting in line. The line might involve data waiting for processing, equipment parts waiting in an assembly line or people waiting in line at various ...

The purpose of the course is to present some of the classical results in queueing theory, mainly in the analysis of single-server queues and Markovian (reversible) stochastic networks. Another goal is ...

Queueing theory provides a robust mathematical framework for analysing waiting lines, a critical aspect across sectors ranging from telecommunications and healthcare to manufacturing and ...

Performance analysis of queueing networks is one of the most challenging areas of queueing theory. Barring very specialized models such as product-form type queueing networks, there exist very few ...

An approximation suggested by D. Gross and C. M. Harris in their book Fundamentals of Queueing Theory for computing the busy period characteristics in the single server queue with renewal input and ...

The wait can feel endless. There you stand, an overflowing trolley, a screaming child behind you, and someone fumbling for coins ahead. The other lines seem to be moving through faster. Perhaps you ...
