訂定今年為" 排隊理論年",用以紀念排隊理論一百周年,藉此好好回顧與展望Queueing Theory!
- 其實世界萬物一切始於Queue(排隊),聖經中已經告訴我們了,能上若亞方舟(Noah's Ark)的都是排隊來的,生於排隊,死於排隊,排隊之偉大,不是一般人能懂的!
- Queueing Theory的中文問題,依據Google發現(不能說"有人說",學術是很嚴謹的...!?),翻譯名詞有很多種:排隊理論、排隊論、等候理論、等候線理論、佇列理論。哪個是比較適當的?根據調查,「排隊理論」是最親近凡人的名詞,凡人都有排過隊,「排隊」兩字是大家都能聯想到的,也是最能引起眾人的共鳴,太好啊!
