COSC 676 - Queueing Theory in Computer Science

3 Credits
Prerequisite(s): COSC 504 and COSC 522 The development of queueing 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 queueing systems, the classical single-server exponential queueing system model, additional single and multiple-server queueing models, including birth-death processes and finite sources, and the assumptions and limitations of the various queueing models. The applications of queueing theory to computer systems are emphasized.
