Since the rst paper on polling systems, written by Mack in 1957, a huge number of
papers on this topic has been written. A typical polling system consists of a number of
queues, attended by a single server. In several surveys, the most notable ones written by
Takagi, detailed and comprehensive descriptions of the mathematical analysis of polling
systems are provided. The goal of the present survey paper is to complement these
papers by putting the emphasis on applications of polling models. We discuss not only the
capabilities, but also the limitations of polling models in representing various applications.
The present survey is directed at both academicians and practitioners.
