Overview

This timely book provides an overview of fundamental queueing systems and networks as applied to many areas of technology. It surveys the classes of queueing models and networks, or the applied methods in queueing, and is followed by a discussion of open problems and future research directions. Frontiers in Queueing: Models and Applications in Science and Engineering also includes applications to vital areas of engineering and technology, specifically, telecommunications, computers and computer networks, satellite systems, traffic processes, and more applied methods such as simulation, statistics, and numerical methods.

""The editor is to be congratulated for the selection of topics and assuring the high quality of articles."" - Joseph Glaz, University of Connecticut, in Technometrics ""The overall editing and production are excellent… Frontiers in Queueing may be less theoretical than Advances in Queueing,… but it is equal to it in terms of the high quality of its scholarship…As in the other book, these authors are all experts, and all of their contributions authoritatively reflect the current state of the art….My only compensation for reviewing Frontiers in Queueing is getting to keep the review copy. Considering that this is an excellent book, I think I got a very good deal. -Computing Reviews, December 1998
