MA2262 PROBABILITY AND QUEUEING THEORY
(Common to CSE & IT)

AIM
The probabilistic models are employed in countless applications in all areas of science and engineering. Queuing theory provides models for a number of situations that arise in real life. The course aims at providing necessary mathematical support and confidence to tackle real life problems.

OBJECTIVES
At the end of the course, the students would
• Have a well – founded knowledge of standard distributions which can describe real life phenomena.
• Acquire skills in handling situations involving more than one random variable and functions of random variables.
• Understand and characterize phenomena which evolve with respect to time in a probabilistic manner.
• Be exposed to basic characteristic features of a queuing system and acquire skills in analyzing queuing models.
