“We can use some fancy math to predict how long the line will get,” Keely Croxton of Ohio State says, then apply it to related problems. In response to a listener request, “Marketplace” host Kai ...

Queueing theory provides a robust mathematical framework for analysing waiting lines, a critical aspect across sectors ranging from telecommunications and healthcare to manufacturing and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Queuing theory and the stochastic processes arising from the study of queuing and storage systems. Overview of classical results and recent topics bounds and approximations, queuing networks.

Stocks are processed in milliseconds. Chauffeured cars can be summoned almost instantly. Yet people are still routinely made to slow down and cool their heels. We wait in lines at the grocery store ...

We've all waited in line and most of us have gotten stuck in a check-out line longer than we would like. For Will Mather, assistant professor of physics and an instructor with the College of Science's ...

Performance analysis of queueing networks is one of the most challenging areas of queueing theory. Barring very specialized models such as product-form type queueing networks, there exist very few ...

With all the insanity on terra firma, you’re forgiven if you missed the 30,000-foot brilliance of this year’s Crystal Cabin Awards—the Only International Award For Excellence in Aircraft Interior ...

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 ...
