Presents and develops methods from queueing theory in mathematical language and in sufficient depth so that the student may apply the methods to many modern engineering problems and conduct creative research. Step-by-step development of results with careful explanation, and lists of important results make it useful as a handbook and a text.
Used as a textbook by Prof. J. Laurie Snell, Mathematics Department, Dartmouth College for an elective topics course in Operations Research, Fall 1979.
