Leseprobe
„Despite its title, the book is rather advanced, so it is appropriate for practitioners, those in academia, and upper-class students. However, any reader will benefit from the concise introductions to the problems, the detailed descriptions supported with step-by-step formulas, the solutions provided by the manual, and the QtsPlus software.“ (Computing Reviews, 1 December 2011) „This is an accessible and attractive book with good writing all the way through. It has the advantage of years of classroom testing. The exercises are extensive and creative.“ (MAA Reviews, March 19, 2009)„This exceptional book is a most welcome text for advanceduniversity undergraduate and/or graduate students. It is built onthe solid foundation of the three previous widely acclaimededitions since 1975 that have been among the few cornerstones oftexts in the field. The new edition contains a superb blend oftheoretical and contemporary real-world examples.“ -Dr. Percy Brill, Department of Management Science andDepartment of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Windsor

Praise for the Third Edition
„This is one of the best books available. Its excellentorganizational structure allows quick reference to specific modelsand its clear presentation . . . solidifies the understanding ofthe concepts being presented.“
--IIE Transactions on Operations Engineering
Thoroughly revised and expanded to reflect the latestdevelopments in the field, Fundamentals of Queueing Theory, Fourth Edition continues to present the basic statisticalprinciples that are necessary to analyze the probabilistic natureof queues. Rather than presenting a narrow focus on the subject, this update illustrates the wide-reaching, fundamental concepts inqueueing theory and its applications to diverse areas such ascomputer science, engineering, business, and operationsresearch.
This update takes a numerical approach to understanding andmaking probable estimations relating to queues, with acomprehensive 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 qualityand cost of service
Each chapter provides a self-contained presentation of keyconcepts and formulae, allowing readers to work with each sectionindependently, while a summary table at the end of the bookoutlines the types of queues that have been discussed and theirresults. In addition, two new appendices have been added, discussing transforms and generating functions as well as thefundamentals of differential and difference equations. New examplesare now included along with problems that incorporate QtsPlussoftware, which is freely available via the book's related Website.
With its accessible style and wealth of real-world examples, Fundamentals of Queueing Theory, Fourth Edition is an idealbook for courses on queueing theory at the upper-undergraduate andgraduate levels. It is also a valuable resource for researchers andpractitioners who analyze congestion in the fields oftelecommunications, transportation, aviation, and managementscience.
