Other goals are to edit the known results in a unified manner, classify them and identify where and how they relate to each other, and fill in some gaps with new results. we have highlighted the results For each topic covered in the book, that, in our opinion, are the most important.

From the reviews: "The book enriches the literature on equilibrium of customers and servers in queuing systems, and it reviews the existing literature. On the other hand, it edits the known results in a unified way, and mentions some open problems. ... The book presents a fresh introduction to queuing theory. ... The nice book is welcome in the realm of queuing world." (Anatolij Dvurecenskij, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1064 (15), 2005)
