| Abstract: | This tutorial aims to address and illustrate that queuing theory has a wider potential than generally perceived , while at the same time a variety of practical problems, both in daily-life and industry, are open for fundamental research. To this end, it will: (1) Highlight basic queuing insights for daily-life purposes. (2) Provide exact and bounding results for queuing network applications. (3) Present a number of practical illustrations (case studies) taken from areas as: Daily-life situations, transportation, administrative logistics. |
