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 ...

Load balancing and queueing theory constitute fundamental pillars in the analysis and optimisation of complex service systems. These disciplines merge mathematical modelling and algorithmic strategies ...

The behavior of a uniformly sampled queueing system is characterized and interpreted using a time series approach. The advantages of employing time series to obtain a model of the queue's behavior are ...

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.

This paper develops two distinct models for studying inventory systems with continuous production and perishable items. The perishable items have a deterministic usable life after which they must be ...

Queuing theory played an important role in the development of telephone system, Internet, mobile phone network and information and technology (IT). Queuing theory played an important role in the ...

“We can use some fancy math to predict how long the line will get,” Keely Croxton of Ohio State says, then apply it to related problems. In response to a listener request, “Marketplace” host Kai ...
