This introductory textbook is designed for a one-semester course on
queueing theory that does not require a course on stochastic
processes as a prerequisite. By integrating the necessary
background on stochastic processes with the analysis of models, the
work provides a sound foundational introduction to the modeling and
analysis of queueing systems for a broad interdisciplinary audience
of students in mathematics, statistics, and applied disciplines
such as computer science, operations research, and engineering.
This edition includes additional topics in methodology and
applications. Key features: * An introductory chapter including a
historical account of the growth of queueing theory in more than
100 years. * A modeling-based approach with emphasis on
identification of models * Rigorous treatment of the foundations of
basic models commonly used in applications with appropriate
references for advanced topics. * A chapter on matrix-analytic
method as an alternative to the traditional methods of analysis of
queueing systems. * A comprehensive treatment of statistical
inference for queueing systems. * Modeling exercises and review
exercises when appropriate. The second edition of An Introduction
of Queueing Theory may be used as a textbook by first-year graduate
students in fields such as computer science, operations research,
industrial and systems engineering, as well as related fields such
as manufacturing and communications engineering. Upper-level
undergraduate students in mathematics, statistics, and engineering
may also use the book in an introductory course on queueing theory.
With its rigorous coverage of basic material and extensive
bibliography of the queueing literature, the work may also be
useful to applied scientists and practitioners as a self-study
reference for applications and further research. "...This book has
brought a freshness and novelty as it deals mainly with modeling
and analysis in applications as well as with statistical inference
for queueing problems. With his 40 years of valuable experience in
teaching and high level research in this subject area, Professor
Bhat has been able to achieve what he aimed: to make [the work]
somewhat different in content and approach from other books." -
