Application of Queuing Theory to Information Systems Design

Abstract

This research project was undertaken to investigate the application of queuing theory, in particular the priority queuing theory, to structuring of information systems. A scheme of classifying queuing models and queuing literature was developed, and was used to classify most of the known priority-queuing literature. The waiting-time distribution for a multi-server, head-of-the-line, priority queuing model was developed. Priority-queuing formulas were catalogued and listed in accordance with the classification scheme. A simple single-stage priority queuing model was constructed to demonstrate the feasibility of using such a model to augment the analytical modeling techniques in investigating more complex priority-queuing systems. Finally, procedures for the application of the queuing model to structuring of information systems were outlined.
