Forecast, don't guesstimate your software projects

Queuing theory is a branch of mathematics. It is useful, in a software context, for things like predicting server capacity and predicting response times of programs. It is also regularly used to predict things like hospital wait times.

Here is a very good introduction, I hope you can learn something new from it (:

there's no actual use of queuing theory in the article though, it's just mentioned as some sort of irrelevant justification. it's not even a monte carlo simulation, it's a bootstrap. you definitely don't need queuing theory to run a bootstrap
