Course Objectives The purpose of this course is to introduce students to a general framework for modeling queueing systems and to the basic methodologies used for their analysis.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Will be able to explain the framework for modelling and analyzing queueing systems
  • Will be able to define the stochastic processes that are used in the analyses of queueing systems
  • Will be able to explain the available analytical models for queueing systems
  • Will be able to relate a system under consideration with known queueuing models
  • Will be able to use queueing models for performance analysis of service and production systems
Course Description The purpose of this course is to introduce students to a general framework for modeling queueing systems and to the basic methodologies used for their analysis. Since queueing phenomenon is in general due to randomness, the course requires extensive use of probability theory. The course will encompass the stochastic processes necessary for analyzing queueing systems. At the end the course, the students are supposed to be acquainted with the available analytical models for queueing systems and to be able to use them for performance analysis of service and production systems.
