Title: Frontiers in Queueing
Description: Queueing systems and networks are being applied to many areas of technology today, including telecommunications, computers, satellite systems, and traffic processes. This timely book, written by 26 of the most respected and influential researchers in the field, provides an overview of fundamental queueing systems and networks as applied to these technologies.

Frontiers in Queueing: Models and Applications in Science and Engineering was written with more of an engineering slant than its predecessor, Advances in Queueing: Theory, Methods, and Open Problems. The earlier book was primarily concerned with methods, and was more theoretically oriented.

This new volume, meant to be a sequel to the first book, was written by scientists and queueing theorist whose expertise is in technology and engineering, allowing readers to answer questions regarding the technicalities of related methods from the earlier book.

Each chapter in the book surveys the classes of queueing models and networks, or the applied methods in queueing, and is followed by a discussion of open problems and future research directions. All researchers, from students to advanced professionals, can benefit from the sound advice and perspective of the contributors represented in this book.
