Advances in Queueing Theory, Methods, and Open Problems

CRC Press

This book contains the most significant methods in the theory of queues, which are demonstrated on a large number of examples of queueing models. It includes a discussion of open problems and future research directions, followed by an extensive bibliography of pertinent books on the subject. > The progress of science and technology has placed Queueing Theory among the most popular disciplines in applied mathematics, operations research, and engineering. Although queueing has been on the scientific market since the beginning of this century, it is still rapidly expanding by capturing new areas in technology. Advances in Queueing provides a comprehensive overview of problems in this enormous area of science and focuses on the most significant methods recently developed.Written by a team of 24 eminent scientists, the book examines stochastic, analytic, and generic methods such as approximations, estimates and bounds, and simulation. The first chapter presents an overview of classical8
