It is not as if there are not many books already on queueing theory! So, why this
one – an additional book? Well, generally queueing models and their analyses can
be presented in several different ways, ranging from the highly theoretical base to
the very applied base. I have noticed that most queueing books are written based on
the former approach, with mathematical rigour and as a result sometimes ignoring
the application oriented reader who simply wants to apply the results to a real life
problem. In other words, that reader who has a practical queue
