Abstract

Queueing theory models things waiting in lines. Such things include packets, telephone calls or computer jobs. Continuous time and discrete time single queues are reviewed. This includes M/M/1, Geom/Geom/1 and M/G/1 results. Networks of Markovian queues along with the mean value analysis (MVA) computational algorithm are discussed. Negative customer networks are examined. Recursive solutions for certain non-product form networks are covered. Stochastic Petri networks (SPN) with product form solutions are also considered. General solution techniques for these models are outlined.
