Queueing is an aspect of modern life that we encounter at every
step in our daily activities. Whether it happens at the checkout
counter in the supermarket or in accessing the Internet, the basic
phenomenon of queueing arises whenever a shared facility needs to
be accessed for service by a ]arge number of jobs or customers. The
study of queueing is important as it gravides both a theoretical
background to the kind of service that we may expect from such a
facility and the way in which the facility itself may be designed
to provide some specified grade of service to its customers. Our
study of queueing was basically motivated by its use in the study
of communication systems and computer networks. The various
computers, routers and switches in such a network may be modelled
as individual queues. The whole system may itself be modelled as a
queueing network providing the required service to the messages,
packets or cells that need to be carried. Application of queueing
theory provides the theoretical framework for the design and study
of such networks. The purpose of this book is to support a course
on queueing systems at the senior undergraduate or graduate Ievels.
Such a course would then provide the theoretical background on
which a subsequent course on the performance modeHing and analysis
of computer networks may be based.
