Queuing theory is a very large and mature area of research, with many important applications in industry. It is not a coincidence that a certain telephone company named a functional programming language after Erlang, the founder of queuing theory.
Erlang actually stands for "Ericsson Language". I think the alternative interpretation is intentional, though. Björn Lisper
