Synopsis

This book provides an accessible introduction to queueing networks, a mathematical tool used to model and analyze complex systems where customers compete for limited resources. Queueing networks are widely applied in diverse fields such as manufacturing, telecommunications, and service industries. The author lucidly presents the underlying theory and practical applications of queueing networks. The book delves into the decomposition approach, a fundamental technique for approximating the performance of large-scale queueing networks. This approach involves decomposing the network into smaller subsystems, analyzing them individually, and combining the results to obtain an overall system performance estimate. The book covers a range of topics, including the analysis of single-server and multi-server queues, tandem queues, and closed queueing networks. It also discusses the impact of network parameters, such as arrival and service rates, on system performance measures like waiting times and queue lengths. The author offers a comprehensive examination of decomposition methods, highlighting their strengths and limitations. This book is an indispensable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students seeking a thorough understanding of queueing networks and their applications in various fields. Its insights shed light on the behavior of complex systems and enable readers to effectively model and optimize such systems for improved performance.
