Rational Queueing by Refael Hassin

Rational Queueing by Refael Hassin

This book provides one of the first unified accounts of the dynamic aspects involved in the strategic behavior in queues. The author presents the material in an easy style with mostly non-technical language, emphasizing models and qualitative insights. He describes applications in many practical situations, including supply chains, call centers,

"This unique bibliographical volume by a foremost researcher in the area of strategic queues, or game theoretical analysis of queueing systems, provides a complete panorama of the extensive literature that was published in this area in recent years, spanning the period since the by-now classical monograph of Hassin and Haviv (2003) up to the present dayWith over 700 references, individual papers are typically summarized in a paragraph or two, highlighting their essential contribution. The surveyed articles are arranged within a thoughtful subject classification, which makes it easy to focus on topics of interest, while the chronological ordering within each subject clearly displays the progression of ideas and results. Anyone who works in the area of strategic queues should have this book handy on his or her bookshelf. A newcomer may first study the above-mentioned monograph and come back to the present book to fully realize the state of the art."

"Rational Queueing provides a comprehensive and authoritative survey of recent research on strategic behavior in queueing systems. Focusing on advances in the field since the publication of the classic To Queue or Not to Queue, the author brings the reader up to date by summarizing and organizing over 700 papers from multiple disciplines in a unifying framework. This book will serve as an indispensable reference for researchers, students, and teachers in this area."
