Excerpt

We present some queueing models that explain the emergence of heavy tails (in particular, power tails) in events related to human activities, such as the time it takes humans to perform a certain task, or the time it takes a human to return to a certain task. This is not a novel topic, our research into this has been motivated by [1] which attracted a lot of attention, and was not without controversy, see, e.g. [5]. …
