This introductory textbook is designed for a one-semester direction on queueing concept that doesn't require a direction on stochastic techniques as a prerequisite. by means of integrating the required historical past on stochastic methods with the research of versions, the paintings presents a valid foundational advent to the modeling and research of queueing structures for a large interdisciplinary viewers of scholars in arithmetic, information, and utilized disciplines comparable to machine technological know-how, operations learn, and engineering. This version contains extra issues in technique and applications.

Key features:

• An introductory bankruptcy together with a ancient account of the expansion of queueing conception in additional than a hundred years.

• A modeling-based method with emphasis on identity of types

• Rigorous therapy of the principles of easy types well-known in functions with applicable references for complicated topics.

• A bankruptcy on matrix-analytic approach instead to the normal tools of research of queueing systems.

• A entire therapy of statistical inference for queueing systems.

• Modeling workouts and overview workouts whilst applicable.

The moment variation of An advent of Queueing thought can be used as a textbook by way of first-year graduate scholars in fields equivalent to laptop technology, operations study, commercial and structures engineering, in addition to comparable fields comparable to production and communications engineering. Upper-level undergraduate scholars in arithmetic, information, and engineering can also use the booklet in an introductory direction on queueing conception. With its rigorous assurance of easy fabric and vast bibliography of the queueing literature, the paintings can also be helpful to utilized scientists and practitioners as a self-study reference for purposes and additional research.

"...This booklet has introduced a freshness and novelty because it bargains usually with modeling and research in functions in addition to with statistical inference for queueing difficulties. along with his forty years of helpful adventure in educating and excessive point examine during this topic region, Professor Bhat has been capable of in attaining what he aimed: to make [the paintings] just a little diverse in content material and method from different books." - Assam Statistical evaluate of the 1st edition
