Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to contribute novel papers to the study of queueing theory and stochastic models. Queueing models are among the best-known theories of stochastic modeling, and their progress and development have been increasing exponentially since A.K. Erlang (1917) and T.O. Engset (1918) first studied communications networks and their congestion problems. A server, waiting line and arriving flow of customers constitute the basis of any queueing model. The way in which these items are considered and the various disciplines to which they are attached open a wide range of possibilities in terms of handling situations that arise in real-life problems.
In contemporary research, concepts such as sojourn times and busy periods have become quite relevant due to their importance in traffic engineering, telecommunications, and computer systems.
As for the temporal concept in queueing systems, it should be noted that these systems have been traditionally considered in a context of continuous time, but that the last two decades has seen an increasing interest in the study of discrete-time queueing systems since they are more suitable than their continuous counterpart for computer modeling and telecommunication systems.
Any relevant papers related to the queueing systems and stochastic models are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
