Priority Queuing

Priority queuing is a method used to manage tasks or requests based on their importance. Think of it as a system where some people in line are served before others, even if they arrived later. For example, in an emergency room, critical cases are treated before those with minor issues. This approach ensures that the most urgent needs are addressed first, optimizing efficiency and response times in various contexts, such as telecommunications, data processing, and customer service. By prioritizing, systems can focus resources where they are needed most effectively.
