Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Queueing theory is generally considered a branch of probability theory and operations research (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operations_research) because the results are often used when making business decisions about the resources needed to provide a service where the arrival and service times of customers are random variables. Methods of queueing theory can be used efficiently in different areas of practical fields, such as information technology systems, operations research, transportation systems, health services, and others where services occur. The overall goal of queueing analysis is to compute the main performance characteristics of the system and then test several alternatives that could lead to improvement. The purpose of this Special Issue is to gather a collection of articles reflecting the latest developments in applying queueing theory methods for modeling problems arising in reliability theory and information technology systems, for example.
