Queueing theory is a fascinating subject in Applied Probability for two con tradictory reasons: it sometimes requires the most sophisticated tools of stochastic processes, and it often leads to simple and explicit answers. More over its interest has been steadily growing since the pioneering work of Erlang in 1917 on the blocking of telephone calls, to the more recent applications on the design of broadband communication networks and on the performance evaluation of computer architectures. All this led to a huge literature, articles and books, at various levels of mathematical rigor. Concerning the mathematical approach, most of the explicit results ... Read more

Reviews for Elements of Queueing Theory
From the reviews: No doubt this textbook will further convince the queueing modeller of the essential importance of point processes and martingale technology. Paul Embrechts. Short Book Reviews, December 2003 "This book is intended for graduate students and researchers in queuing theory and applied probability. … Overall this is a well-written text that provides ...
