Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified, Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Methods of individual activities
Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to familiarize students with systems in which there are processes of service between customers and service centers. Students will be introduced to modeling to find the best way for organizing queues to achieve, in particular, the highest profit from their activities, avoiding loss of downtime or losing impatient customers, customers waiting for the shortest possible time.
Students actively use mathematical apparatus, are capable of logical and combination thinking and master mathematical skills to the extent that they are able to actively apply them in IT and electrical engineering.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of the subject is Probability Theory, Mathematical Statistics, and Random Function Theory.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written examination, Self project defence, Presentation

Obtaining credit from the subject is conditional upon successfully passing a written test - at least 50% of success and presentation of the case study.
