Product Description This text, intended for a first course in performance evaluation, provides a self-contained treatment of all aspects of queueing theory. It starts by introducing readers to the terminology and usefulness of queueing theory and continues by considering Markovian queues in equilibrium, Little's law, reversibility, transient analysis and computation, and the M/G/1 queueing system. Subsequent chapters treat the theory of networks of queues and computational algorithms for networks of queues. Stochastic Petri networks, including those whose solutions can be given in product form, are covered in detail. A chapter on discrete-time queueing systems, which are of recent interest, discusses arrival processes, Geom/Geom/m queueing models, and case studies of discrete-time queueing networks arising in industrial applications. This third edition includes a new chapter on current models of network traffic as well as sixteen new homework problems on discrete-time models and a revised and updated set of references. The discussion of network traffic models includes a survey of continuous and discrete time models, a detailed discussion of burstiness, a complete introduction to self-similar traffic and a presentation of solution techniques. Solutions for all of the homework problems in this text are available in a separate volume. | ||

Great book on Queuing theory I'm a graduate student in electrical engineering and queuing theory is one of the subjects i need to be familiar about. I did a couple of courses on queuing theory, mostly by following the instructor's notes, but this book helped me to clear many of my concepts that either i overlooked before or never thought about it. In particular, the section where it talks about algebraic topological interpretation of product form solutions of queuing networks is great, and so is the treatment on M/G/1 queues. It also proves why the product form solution works and what should be the structure of the queuing in order for it to work! The examples and case studies are very insightful. Chapter 6 on discrete time queuing systems is very well written with a comparison to its continuous time analog. Overall, I think it's a great book. Would recommend to anybody that wants to study deeper. | ||
