Welcome to the course EP2200/FEP3340

Queuing theory and teletraffic systems!

We are glad to welcome you to Queuing theory and teletraffic systems. In this course you learn how to evaluate the performance of communication networks, distributed computing systems and alike with the help of mathematical modeling. This knowledge is necessary for you if you want to designing any kind of systems with shared resources, such as mobile networks, fixed networks, centralized or distributed cloud services, as well as other every-day systems like airport check-in on on-line health services.

During the course you will learn from on-line material, from classroom lectures and problem solving sessions, and from a larger project. You will have to do regular home assignments and a final exam with written and oral parts.

Remember that you must have registered to maintain access to your courses after the web registration period.

Welcome!
