MATH 580 - Applied Queuing Theory

3 Credits

Prerequisite(s): Graduate Status The development of queuing theory and the application of that theory to discrete simulations in general, and to computer systems, in particular. Topics include random processes, characterization of different queuing systems, the classical single-server exponential queuing model, additional single and multiple server queuing models, including birth-death processes and finite sources, and the assumptions and limitations of the various queuing models. The application of queuing theory to computer systems is emphasized.
