Title: Queueing & Trace-Driven Queueing Analysis.
Speaker: David Rolls
Abstract:
One of the beautiful applications of probability has been to the study
of queues. Whether at Disney World, the telephone network, the Internet
or a company's call center, lineups are everywhere. In this talk some
basic ideas from queueing theory will be introduced. Their application
to the Internet will be discussed, including the use of simulations.
Although some ideas from probability will be used, much of the talk
will be accessible to a wide audience.
