  2. Queueing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory

    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 ...

  3. Mean sojourn time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_sojourn_time

    1) Queuing Theory: In queuing systems, it corresponds to the average time a customer or job spends in the system or a specific queue. 2) Physics: Used to describe trapping times in potential wells or energy barriers in molecular dynamics. 3) Markov Chains: Describes the time a system spends in a transient state before transitioning.

  4. Little's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little's_law

    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.

  5. M/M/1 queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/M/1_queue

    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.

  6. Kendall's notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

  7. M/M/c queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/M/c_queue

    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]

  8. Fluid queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_queue

    In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, a fluid queue (fluid model, [1] fluid flow model [2] or stochastic fluid model [3]) is a mathematical model used to describe the fluid level in a reservoir subject to randomly determined periods of filling and emptying.

  9. Queuing Rule of Thumb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queuing_Rule_of_Thumb

    The Queuing Rule of Thumb (QROT) is a mathematical formula known as the queuing constraint equation when it is used to find an approximation of servers required to service a queue. The formula is written as an inequality relating the number of servers ( s ), total number of service requestors ( N ), service time ( r ), and the maximum time to ...
