Queuing theory is the study of queues Sometimes called waiting lines Can be used to describe: Real world queues, or Abstract queues Found in many branches of computer science, such as OSs Basic queuing theory Queuing theory is divided into 3 main sections: Traffic flow Scheduling Facility design and employee allocation Much more in the textbook
