Abstract

This paper summarizes the literature on efficiency loss when agents selfishly optimize their utility in stochastic queueing systems. The price of anarchy is the most popular measure for quantifying this loss, but we also discuss other measures. The queueing models are introduced briefly and results on the loss of efficiency are discussed.
