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.

Using artificial neural network to predict professional movements of graduates

This paper presents the development of a model for forecasting and decision-making by applying logistic regression. The prediction of professional choices for graduates has been verified on the sample of 159 graduates. Predictor variables are grouped in nine input variables and the data collected from the Unique Education Information System database. Professional choices of graduates after finishing vocational school are grouped into three output variables and the data collected in the survey. The obtained results show that the application of logistic regression can predict the number and structure of students enrolled in higher education.

Enrollment Management Model: Artificial Neural Networks versus Logistic Regression

The analyses of queuing systems, based on Markov processes, are in most cases restricted to steady state behavior i.e. to systems in equilibrium. The reason for that lies in the fact that for obtaining time dependent system state probabilities of these queuing systems, a system of linear first order differential equations has to be solved. Unfortunately, analytical solutions rarely exist and if they exist, their obtaining tends to be quite difficult and complicated. Several authors have obtained the results time dependent system state probabilities (properties) of some queuing systems in analytical form. These analytical expressions are usually obtained by use of generating functions and transforms such as Laplace transform, z-transform etc. The derived expressions are very complicated and require alternative computational techniques by the fact that they often refer to Bessel functions. The transient analysis of single server queuing systems with infinite queue capacity, based on Markov processes i.e. M/M/1, can be found, for example, in the works of: Morse [1,2], Greenberg and Greenberg [3], Heathcote and Winer [4], Gross and Harris [5], Kleinrock [6], Cooper [7], Takacs [8]. The main idea of this paper is to transform, using elementary mathematical operations, the expression for time dependent system state probabilities of single server queuing system with finite queue capacity M/M/1/K, in order to find its limit value when the number of places in the queue (m) tends to infinity. In another words, main idea is to obtain analytical expression for time dependent system state probabilities of single server queuing system with infinite queue capacity M/M/1 indirectly without solving adequate system of linear differential equations, in the case that the system is empty at the beginning. 2.
