Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, or queues. [1] A queueing model is constructed so that queue lengths and waiting time can be predicted. [ 1 ] Queueing theory is generally considered a branch of operations research because the results are often used when making business decisions about the resources needed to provide ...
An M/M/1 queueing node. In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, an M/M/1 queue represents the queue length in a system having a single server, where arrivals are determined by a Poisson process and job service times have an exponential distribution. The model name is written in Kendall's notation.
Waiting queue at Ottawa station.. In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, Kendall's notation (or sometimes Kendall notation) is the standard system used to describe and classify a queueing node.
In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, the M/M/c queue (or Erlang–C model [1]: 495 ) is a multi-server queueing model. [2] In Kendall's notation it describes a system where arrivals form a single queue and are governed by a Poisson process, there are c servers, and job service times are exponentially distributed. [3]
In mathematical queueing theory, Little's law (also result, theorem, lemma, or formula [1] [2]) is a theorem by John Little which states that the long-term average number L of customers in a stationary system is equal to the long-term average effective arrival rate λ multiplied by the average time W that a customer spends in the system.
An M/M/∞ queue is a stochastic process whose state space is the set {0,1,2,3,...} where the value corresponds to the number of customers currently being served. Since, the number of servers in parallel is infinite, there is no queue and the number of customers in the systems coincides with the number of customers being served at any moment.
In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, an M/G/1 queue is a queue model where arrivals are Markovian (modulated by a Poisson process), service times have a General distribution and there is a single server. [1]
In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, a Jackson network (sometimes Jacksonian network [1]) is a class of queueing network where the equilibrium distribution is particularly simple to compute as the network has a product-form solution.
