An Introduction to Queueing Theory Modeling and Analysis in Applicat
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

Preface to the First Edition There are several books on queueing theory available for students as well as researchers. At the low end of mathematical sophistication, some provide useable formulas in a recipe fashion. At the high end there are research monographs on specific topics and books with emphasis on theoretical analysis. In between there are a few textbooks with one common feature. All of them require an adequate background knowledge on probability and Markov processes that can be acquired normally with a semester-length graduate course. Consequently, most of those who deal with the
