Queuing theory is the study of the phenomena of standing, waiting, and
serving. Any system in which arrivals place demands upon a finite capacity
resource may be termed a queueing system (Kleinrock). The talk will cover
the basics of queuing theory and possible candidate problem areas where
queuing theory can be applied. This will include the different types of
queuing systems, what are the kinds of problems that a queuing system helps
us to solve and how queuing systems will be useful to a biologist.
