Resumo

The problem of queues and waiting times is part of our daily life and so it is a situation that deserves a thorough study. Queueing theory mathematically studies the waiting lines and is part of the operations research field. This problem involves more complexity since it considers: the arrival process of the agents (customers) according to some probability distribution; the service time distribution and the number of available servers (in line or in parallel); and, finally, the queue discipline that determines the method used to serve the agents: first come, first served; last come, first served; etc.
