Firefly algorithm in optimization of queueing systems

Queueing theory provides methods for analysis of complex service systems in computer systems, communications, transportation networks and manufacturing. It incorporates Markovian systems with exponential service times and a Poisson arrival process. Two queueing systems with losses are also briefly characterized. The article describes firefly algorithm, which is successfully used for optimization of these queueing systems. The results of experiments performed for selected queueing systems have been also presented.
