Stochastic models are mathematical representations of phenomena or situations that have random elements. Queueing theory is essentially the study of waiting lines, and its applications are wide and abundant. They include various types of trafficking issues (airport and airline, train, and bus departures and arrivals); setting trial dates; and matters involving computer networking, amongmany others.Mathematicians, statisticians, engineers, computer scientists, and industry analysts rely on using stochastic models in queueing theory. The rapid development of the theory and its uses demands that books on the subject reflect the most recent innovations and applications.With the emphasis on solving current, real problems, this text provides a modern introduction to partial differential equations. Physical applications used to illustrate various methods are all relatively easy to understand without too much background, and translate to wider applications.
