| Abstract: | There have been reports of the demise of queuing theory. The ongoing activity described in the article serves as an evidence that queuing theory is far from dead. There are many "theorists" working for IBM, for AT&T, for Hewlett Packard, GE, GM, Ford, Boeing; the list is long. As a discipline, queuing theory is healthy and flourishing. It is used to solve "real" problems every day, and they can be problems of great sophistication and complexity. Further, the theory has been able to grow new branches within the last decades or so; changes of this magnitude are only possible in a healthy environment. |
