Biography

Jewgeni H. Dshalalow

"The editor is to be congratulated for the selection of topics and assuring the high quality of articles."
- Joseph Glaz, University of Connecticut, in Technometrics
"The overall editing and production are excellent… Frontiers in Queueing may be less theoretical than Advances in Queueing,… but it is equal to it in terms of the high quality of its scholarship…As in the other book, these authors are all experts, and all of their contributions authoritatively reflect the current state of the art….My only compensation for reviewing Frontiers in Queueing is getting to keep the review copy. Considering that this is an excellent book, I think I got a very good deal.
