Queuing Theory

Explore queuing theory for scheduling, resource allocation, and traffic flow applications

Queuing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines or queues. This approach is applied to different types of problems, such as scheduling, resource allocation, and traffic flow. It is often applied in:

  • Operations research
  • Industrial engineering
  • Network design
  • Computer architecture

You can explore queuing theory by modeling, measuring, and analyzing the arrival times, wait times, and service times of queuing systems.

For details, see MATLAB®, Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™ and SimEvents®.
