Rating:  Summary: A great book! Review: I was attracted to queueing theory from the aspects of modeling and control of Internet traffic. Looking for a book length treatment of this fascinating though old subject, this book appears to be the most recent treatise on this subject. The choice of topics appear to be very balanced, including old as well as very recent developments. The two very well-known authors have also a very good writing style which makes it a joy to read. I highly recommend this book for students, researchers in statistics, OR, communication, and curious cs folks.
Rating:  Summary: not easy to read Review: It is a textbook for a course I am taking. I have read 28 pages. It is not easy to read at all. It seems that the authors really want to use as few number of words as possible. So I have to think about and try to understand each sentence. If I spend 1 hour on a similar other book, then I have to spend 1.5 hour on this book for the same amount of content.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Review: Not suitable for a first course. Excellent for a more advanced course, or self study (with the right background). Covers lots of essential topics in nice, clear way, and contains many 'modern' topics that are difficult to find in any other single reference.For the right person, well worth the $.
