Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Fundamentals of Queueing Theory, 4th Edition presents the analytic modeling of queues using up-to-date examples and detailed coverage of the fundamentals of analytic modeling. A fresh emphasis on telecommunications enlivens the text, and spreadsheet programs for Excel and Quattro on the related Web site will help you understand the sensitivity of waiting-line systems to parameter and environmental changes. New material and discussions on call centers, numerical techniques (such as TAM, TRM, and LC), and simulation have been added. Software programs for additional systems, mathematical details with numerical results, and intuitive arguments are also included.

I always recommend Kleinrock's "Queueing systems Volume I: Theory" to my friends for learning the basics of queueing theory. But "Fundamentals of queueing theory" is an excellent text to have. I find it much easier to find the necessary pages to refresh my memory on an equation or a specific approach to solving a problem when using Gross and Harris.

I used this book to supplement a course in queuing theory and found it to be more readable than other books on the topic, including ELEMENTS OF QUEUING THEORY WITH APPLICATIONS. This may not be a book to pick up for casual reading to learn about queuing theory, but if you are taking a queuing-theory course, I would highly recommend it. I struggled with deciding to give this book four or five stars: Four stars because I feel that the derivations of various queuing models could have been presented in a clearer manner. Five stars because I think it's the most readable queuing-theory book I have encountered.

Fundamentals of Queueing Theory (third edition) by D. Gross and C. Harris is THE classic queueing text book. It is up-to-date, thorough, rigorous, intuitive, and even fun to read (for the mathematically inclined). This book can be read at different levels, none of them easy. It is intended for an audience of graduate students in operations research, industrial engineering, management science, or mathematics. There are other excellent queueing books out there, but this has to be the overall best seller! Highly recommended.
