An introduction to queueing theory : modeling and analysis in applications / U. Narayan Bhat ; with guest contributions from Srinivas R. Chakravarthy, Krishna M. Kavi, Andrew Junfang Yu.

This introductory textbook is designed for a one-semester course on queueing theory that does not require a course on stochastic processes as a prerequisite. By integrating the necessary background on stochastic processes with the analysis of models, the work provides a sound foundational introducti...
