Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of probability at the level:

S.M. Ross, Introduction to probability models, 9th edition, Academic Press, 2007 (chapters 1-3).

  • Markovian queues (M/M/1 queue, M/M/c queue, M/E_r/1 queue)
  • M/G/1 queue and G/M/1 queue
  • Mean value technique
  • Priority queues
  • Variations of the M/G/1 queue
  • Insensitive queues (M/G/c/c queue and M/G/infinity queue)
