Queuing theory is the mathematical analysis of waiting in line. The line might involve data waiting for processing, equipment parts waiting in an assembly line or people waiting in line at various ...

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 ...

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 ...

Markov chains and queueing theory together provide a robust framework for analysing systems that evolve randomly over time. Markov chains describe stochastic processes where the future state depends ...

I was at the store the other day to pick up a few items. I found what I wanted and walked to the front checkout counters. There I found a long line of people waiting to be checked out. I had spent a ...

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 ...

The purpose of the course is to present some of the classical results in queueing theory, mainly in the analysis of single-server queues and Markovian (reversible) stochastic networks. Another goal is ...

Ever since Google announced that access to its then-new email application Gmail would be invite-only at first, startup founders have been angling to reproduce that same kind of fervor for their own ...

RUDN University mathematician proposed an artificial neural network for solving the queuing theory problems that arise, for example, in computing systems or business processes. Together with classical ...

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, ...
