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

You've probably already noticed the difference between the way people line up at McDonald's and the way they line up at Starbucks. At McDonald's, a single employee handles your entire order. Even if ...

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of a general class of product-form closed queueing networks as the population size grows large. We first characterize the asymptotic behavior of the ...

Queueing theory rules everything around you. This newest version of our highly accessible, 30-page introduction to queueing theory demystifies the subject without requiring pages full of equations.

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 ...
