Special Issue in Queueing Systems: Theory and Applications (QUESTA)

Queueing Systems: Theory and Applications (QUESTA) will feature a special issue related to the 20th INFORMS APS conference dealing with general surveys in Applied Probability. Attendees and session organizers of the conference are welcomed to submit papers (up to 50 pages) surveying advances and existing knowledge of a specific topic in Applied Probability that lies within the scope of the journal (see below).

The purpose of the issue is to bring attention to the progress in these areas, including recent developments, achievements and standing open problems, especially related to, but not limited by, topics discussed in talks of the 20th INFORMS APS conference. To prepare such a survey, authors are to submit an expression of interest (EOI), summarizing the area of the survey. The EOI must have a title, an abstract (up to half a page), and a brief bibliography (up to 15 references) exemplifying the essence of the proposed survey.

Important dates

The Guest Editors of the QUESTA SI, Ross McVinish, Yoni Nazarathy, and Giang Nguyen, are happy to discuss prospective topics, from now until August 15, 2019.

Queueing Systems: Theory and Applications (QUESTA) is a well-established journal focusing on the theory of resource sharing in a wide sense, particularly within a network context. The journal is primarily interested in probabilistic and statistical problems in this setting. The journal welcomes both papers addressing these issues in the context of some application and papers developing mathematical methods for their analysis. Among the latter, one would particularly quote Markov chains and processes, stationary processes, random graphs, point processes, stochastic geometry, and related fields. The prospective areas of application include, but are not restricted to production, storage and logistics, traffic and transportation, computer and communication systems.
