Learning outcomes

The goal of the course is to make students familiar with queuing models nowadays used in performance evaluation of wired and wireless networks. We will consider queuing systems with priorities, server vacations, and batch arrivals. Special attention will be given to matrix-geometric approach. Queuing systems with special effects e.g. disasters, negative customers, and impatient arrival will also be considered. Special attention in this course will be devoted to applicability of considered models in modern communications networks.
