Queues in Health

摘要

The aim of this special issue of Queueing Systems is to highlight the role of queueing theory in sustaining and improving the quality of care in our health care system. On one hand, it aims at showing the possible impact of queueing theory on optimisation in health care. On the other hand, it aims at drawing health care to the attention of queueing theorists to further increase the number of contributions advancing the mathematical treatment and stochastic analysis of queues in the health care domain.
