Dynamic queueing networks: Simulation, estimation and prediction

Ebert, Anthony C. (2020) Dynamic queueing networks: Simulation, estimation and prediction. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Inspired by the problem of managing passenger flow in airport terminals, novel statistical approaches to simulation, estimation and prediction of these systems were developed. A simulation algorithm was developed with computational speed-ups of more than one hundred-fold. The computational improvement was leveraged to infer parameters governing a dynamic queueing system for the first time. Motivated by the original application, contributions to both functional data analysis as well as combined parameter and state inference were made.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
