Parameter and State Estimation in Queues and Related Stochastic Models: A Bibliography

Abstract

This is an annotated bibliography on estimation and inference results for queues and related stochastic models. The purpose of this document is to collect and categorise works in the field, allowing for researchers and practitioners to explore the various types of results that exist. This bibliography attempts to include all known works that satisfy both of these requirements: -Works that deal with queueing models. -Works that contain contributions related to the methodology of parameter estimation, state estimation, hypothesis testing, confidence interval and/or actual datasets of application areas. Our attempt is to make this bibliography exhaustive, yet there are possibly some papers that we have missed. As it is updated continuously, additions and comments are welcomed. The sections below categorise the works based on several categories. A single paper may appear in several categories simultaneously. The final section lists all works in chronological order along with short descriptions of the contributions. This bibliography is maintained at http://www.maths.uq.edu.au/~pkp/papers/Qest/Qest.html and may be cited as such. We welcome additions and corrections.
