Some Useful Queueing Theory Links

  1. QNAT    Queuing Network Analysis and Simulation Tool (requires Mathematica ver 3.0 or higher). Slides on QNAT may be downloaded from here
  2. RAQS    Queuing Network Analysis Package from Oklahoma State University. This is a very good package though it does not analyze the range of queuing networks that may be handled with QNAT. Its big advantage is that it does not require any other software as the computing platform and is quite fast.
  3. Prof. Myron Hlynka's Queuing Theory Page 
  4. Quantitative System Performance : Computer System Analysis using Queuing Network Models  by Edward D. Lazowska, John Zahorjan, G. Scott Graham, Kenneth C. Sevcik. (1984), Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, N.J. (417 pp.)        
    This book is available on-line for free and can either be read  using a hyper-linked Table of Contents or the entire text can be downloaded..
