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.
