Abstract

Interacting networks are different in nature to single networks. The study of queuing processes on interacting networks is underdeveloped. It presents new mathematical challenges and is of importance to applications. This area of operations research deserves careful study: queuing theory needs to incorporate high-order network interactions in the performance analysis of a queuing system.
