Queueing theory is a mathematical study of waiting lines or queues used to model a wide array of practical systems such as call centres, manufacturing lines, computer networks and healthcare ...

Queueing theory provides the mathematical framework to analyse and optimise systems where congestion and waiting times are inherent, while optimal pricing strategies focus on designing cost structures ...

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 ...

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.

Estimates indicate that Americans spend roughly 37 billion hours per year waiting in lines. And, the average consumer can spend up to two years waiting in lines! Recently, the TSA has made headlines ...

Queuing theory and the stochastic processes arising from the study of queuing and storage systems. Overview of classical results and recent topics bounds and approximations, queuing networks.

This paper introduces and analyzes the notion of throughput suboptimality for many-server queueing systems in heavy traffic. The queueing model under consideration has multiple customer classes, ...

Queueing theory—a mathematical framework that’s typically used to study, understand, and manage wait times and lines—is usually applied to improve efficiency in settings such as grocery stores, ...

Let’s say you and your roommate have a little side business baking rhubarb pies at home and selling them on a street corner. Folks love pie, and you’re having trouble keeping up with demand. But you ...
