Book Description John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States, 2008. Paperback. Condition: New. 4th ed. Language: English. Brand new Book. 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 Engineering Thoroughly 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 queues Approximations for queueing networks Numerical inversion of transforms Determining the appropriate number of servers to balance quality and cost of service Each 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.

About this Item: Wiley India Pvt. Ltd, 2012. Softcover. Condition: New. 4th edition. Queueing Theory is the study of queues (sometimes called waiting lines). Most people are familiar with the concept of queues; they exist all around us in daily lives. Queueing Theory can be used to describe these real world queues, or more abstract queues, such as are often found in many branches of computer science, for example in operating system design. Much of queueing theory is very complex. Almost all of it relies heavily on mathematics, especially statistics. The use of a computer helps to avoid needless mathematical computations.
