Optimal design of queuing systems

Over the last 30 years, research on optimal design and control of queueing systems has flowered.

Although many books exist on descriptive queueing theory, until now, none has addressed the topic from the perspective of optimization.

Emphasizing economic interpretation of the output of optimization models, this text offers a thorough examination of this important and rapidly expanding area.

With the numerous, established applications in manufacturing and telecommunications and new applications continually being discovered, this book becomes a vital reference for professionals and an outstanding textbook for operations research, computer science, and electrical engineering students.
