Hmm, a software manifestation of social and political stereotypes. Kind of leaves a strange aftertaste for an otherwise useful concept. In hindsight it's mildly surprising Sacha Baron Cohen (aka Borat) didn't author this one.
that would surely prove to everyone that I have an understanding on behalf of the effected group I imagined, whom I never asked
The referenced source for the name (Polling with batch service)[0] never uses the term "Israeli Queues", although the doi abstract[1] mentions the phrase and it implies it's unsuitable (no fond usage there). Seems tasteless. Maybe the author doesn't understand, maybe ChatGPT wrote the article & incorrect reference, maybe this is an attempt at SEO.

we should rename these to "main" queues that would surely prove to everyone that I have an understanding on behalf of the effected group I imagined, whom I never asked

Maybe I'm looking at a different paper than you? Among other places, on page 16 I see: > A comparison between the Israeli queue and a regular queue > It turns out that the Israeli queue is very efficient. To demonstrate this we calculate...

The citation generator makes it clear the Jan/2008 version of https://doi.org/10.1080/15326340802427497 is to be cited.
Your linked Jul/2008 paper has no version or prior publication data, which makes it a bit gnarly to untangle. It does, however, mention reference [5] for "a sketch" (that doesn't exist), and links to itself as the source in the references section. There's something entirely suspicious about this version.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Took me a second to get your comment, good one.

You are. The one referenced in, and linked from the article, that I linked to: was generated in Dec/2007 and published Jan/2008. The one you've found is apparently the by same authors, but has a publish date 7 months later (Jul/2008), 6 months after it was accepted for publication (so unpublished), and apparently uploaded to ResearchGate by someone with the same name as one of the authors in 2014. The citation genera…

Just moving past all of that, isn't this just a priority queue, where friends share the same priority as you?
