Abstract

This paper is to present the Queueing theory as an analytical tool for various real time situations. First, we discuss different types of queues with the concepts vacation, Customer’s impatience, server failure etc. Second, we look into different practical applications. It provides fundamental concepts of queueing models and their role in system’s performance. As we seek to design more and more sophisticated processing systems, Statistical performance evaluation has got lot of significance. The capability to forecast a projected system's per¬formance before one builds it is an extremely cost effective design instrument. In line to this, queueing theory is a tool for analysis of practical problems and has potential applications. Queueing models have wide range of applications in computer communication systems, manufacturing/production systems and inventory systems. There are many extensive works have been done in the Queueing theory over the past five decades. The motivation of this talk is to provide adequate information to analysts, industry people and others who are interested in using queuing theory to model congestion problems and want to locate the details of relevant models.
