Queueing theory provides the mathematical framework to analyse and optimise systems where congestion and waiting times are inherent, while optimal pricing strategies focus on designing cost structures ...

Ever since Google announced that access to its then-new email application Gmail would be invite-only at first, startup founders have been angling to reproduce that same kind of fervor for their own ...

Queueing theory—a mathematical framework that’s typically used to study, understand, and manage wait times and lines—is usually applied to improve efficiency in settings such as grocery stores, ...

Are checkout lines slowing you down this holiday season? With some simple queueing theory stores could could make lines more efficient, saving themselves money, and helping you get out of the stores ...

RUDN University mathematician proposed an artificial neural network for solving the queuing theory problems that arise, for example, in computing systems or business processes. Together with classical ...

The purpose of the course is to present some of the classical results in queueing theory, mainly in the analysis of single-server queues and Markovian (reversible) stochastic networks. Another goal is ...

I was at the store the other day to pick up a few items. I found what I wanted and walked to the front checkout counters. There I found a long line of people waiting to be checked out. I had spent a ...

Queuing theory tries to find ways to make people enjoy waiting, but can struggle to account for cultural difference like the chaos of Parisian rush hour(Will & Deni ...
