Queueing systems and their application to telecommunication systems and dams

This project is concerned with queueing systems and their applications in telecommunication systems and dams. Queueing theory is a large part of applied probability, stochastic processes and operations research. It has a wide application in industry and telecommunication systems. The specific questions that are solved in the project are: 1) analysis of loss probabilities in multiserver lossy queueing systems, 2) analysis and optimal design of computer networks with failing nodes, 3) queues with buffer priority classes, and 4) optimal control of large dams. The answer to these question will contribute essentially to the corresponding theoretical areas as well as provide useful results for engineers and practioners who uses these models.
