Abstract:
The objective of this talk is to expose researchers to the vast possibilities of using modern machinery and data for implementing effective management analytics for processes that can be modeled as queueing systems. Such process are ubiquitous in modern economies, e.g., customers waiting to service, inventory waiting for processing/transportation, payments and invoices waiting to be generated/cleared, computing tasks waiting for resources. I will thus discuss recent developments in queueing analysis based on several papers.
