Synopsis

This book takes an in-depth look into multiclass queueing systems, a crucial aspect of modern operations management. The author uses a bi-criteria approach to examine both mean and variance of sojourn times in various network settings. Through Brownian and simulation models, the author explores classical and novel scheduling policies, comparing priority sequencing policies to first-come-first-served. The book provides practical insights into reducing variance in sojourn times, a key element in enhancing system efficiency and equity. By delving into the trade-offs between mean sojourn time and variance, the author offers a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to optimize multiclass queueing systems in a variety of real-world applications.
