What is QUEUE?
 Any system where jobs arrive looking for service and
depart once service is provided is described as a
queue.
 The Queuing theory provides predictions about
waiting times, the average number of waiting
customers, the length of a busy period and so forth.

M/M/1 QUEUING SYSTEM
Assumptions of M/M/1 Queuing System
 The number of customers in the system is very large.
 Impact of a single customer on the performance of
the system is very small.
 All customers are independent.
 A single server for the queue.
 The queue discipline for this system is FIFO.
Mathematical Modeling
Putting n=0
•t is used to define the interval 0 to t
•n is the total number of arrivals in the interval
0 to t.
•lambda is the total average arrival rate in
arrivals/sec.
Cars On a
Highway
Consider a highway
with an average of 1 car
arriving every 10
seconds (0.1
cars/second arrival
rate). The probability
distribution with t is
given.
M/M/1 Results
ρ = λ / µ
•rho is occupancy (traffic intensity)
•mu is average service rate.
•N is mean number of customers.
•T is total waiting time.
