Introduction

Queuing Theory and Modelling is a vital area of operations research and applied mathematics that focuses on analysing and optimizing systems where waiting lines (queues) form. These systems are ubiquitous, found in everyday scenarios such as customer service lines, computer networks, manufacturing processes, and telecommunications.
The Queuing Theory and Modelling Virtual Lab provides an interactive platform for students, researchers, and professionals to explore and understand the fundamental principles and advanced concepts of queuing theory. Through a series of simulations and experiments, users can model real-world queuing systems, observe their behaviour, and analyse performance metrics such as wait times, queue lengths, and system efficiency.
This virtual lab allows users to experiment with different queue configurations, service disciplines, and arrival patterns, making it easier to visualize and comprehend the impact of various parameters on system performance.

Objective

The origins of queueing theory can be found in stochastic processes, and it is frequently utilised in operations research, probability, and statistics. Chemical kinetics,dynamic systems, telecommunications, computer systems, wireless networks, and financial mathematics are only a few of the applications. The main goal of this virtual lab is to create a software application that will assist students in comprehending and visualising queue principles, as well as providing them with the essential insight to apply queueing systems to real-world issues.
