Praise for the Third Edition: "This is one of the best books available. Its excellent organizational structure allows quick reference to specific models and its clear presentation . . . solidifies the understanding of the concepts being presented."IIE Transactions on Operations EngineeringThoroughly revised and expanded to reflect the latest developments in the field, Fundamentals of Queueing Theory, Fourth Edition continues to present the basic statistical principles that are necessary to analyze the probabilistic nature of queues. Rather than presenting a narrow focus on the subject, this update illustrates the wide-reaching, fundamental concepts in queueing theory and its applications to diverse areas such as computer science, engineering, business, and operations research.This update takes a numerical approach to understanding and making probable estimations relating to queues, with a comprehensive outline of simple and more advanced queueing models. Newly featured topics of the Fourth Edition include:Retrial queuesApproximations for queueing networksNumerical inversion of transformsDetermining the appropriate number of servers to balance quality and cost of serviceEach chapter provides a self-contained presentation of key concepts and formulae, allowing readers to work with each section independently, while a summary table at the end of the book outlines the types of queues that have been discussed and their results. In addition, two new appendices have been added, discussing transforms and generating functions as well as the fundamentals of differential and difference equations. New examples are now included along with problems that incorporate QtsPlus software, which is freely available via the book's related Web site.With its accessible style and wealth of real-world examples, Fundamentals of Queueing Theory, Fourth Edition is an ideal book for courses on queueing theory at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It is also a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners who analyze congestion in the fields of telecommunications, transportation, aviation, and management science.

Introduction to the Theory of Queues

Difference and Differential Equations with Applications in Queueing Theory presents the unique connections between the methods and applications of differential equations, difference equations, and Markovian queues. Featuring a comprehensive collection of topics that are used in stochastic processes, particularly in queueing theory, the book thoroughly discusses the relationship to systems of linear differential difference equations.

Difference and differential equations with applications in queueing theory

M/M/ 1 queueing models with immediate feedback and splitting have been considered in the literature. However, with the advancement of communication technologies and increased complexity of the service processes, there is a need to take into account situations where a feedback with delays is required. In this paper, a Poisson arrival with exponential single-processor model with splitter, feedback and three buffers is considered. Feedback occurs exponentially with delay and in bounded random batch size (in this case with size 1). The steady-state system of differential-difference equations is solved analytically that reduces to a functional equation. The mean queue length at each station is found.

Single-server Poisson queueing system with splitting and delayed-feedback: Part I

In this paper, we investigate busy period and queue length (steady-state and transient) of a single-server Poisson queue with delayed-service, to set the tone for more complicated models that will appear later. We will analyse this model by considering M/G/1 as well as the use of differential difference equations approximating a non-Markovian system. We obtain the distribution of the length of a busy period, steady-state mean and distribution of the queue length, Laplace transform of the probability of the system being empty and Laplace transform of the generating function of the distribution of the transient queue length.

A parallel priority queueing system with finite buffers

This paper presents a method for teaching statistics called the Reverse-Traditional/Hands-On (RT/HO) method. The method includes student-generated data, use of a statistical computing package such as MINITAB to introduce statistical terms and methods, and a statistical research component. An analytic comparison of students’ successes in courses using the Traditional and RT/HO methods is presented.
