Definition: An abstract data type to efficiently support finding the item with the highest priority across a series of operations. The basic operations are: ... Some implementations also efficiently support join two priority queues (meld), delete an arbitrary item, and increase the priority of a item (decrease-key).

In this chapter we consider priority queues. A priority queue is essentially a list of items in which each item has associated with it a priority. In general, different items may have different priorities and we speak of one item having a higher priority than another.

[1] Priority queues are a standard concept, and can be implemented in many different ways; this implementation uses heaps. Priority queues are discussed in all algorithm books; see, for example, section 5.2.3 of Knuth.

The STL implements priority queues using something called a container adaptor. A container adaptor is a simple wrapper class. It uses the framework of an existing container to implement a new container type. The STL has three container adaptor types: stack, queue, and priority_queue.

But priority queues are generally used in cases where the priorities are independent of time. The print queues on the VAX, for example, are priority queues in which short jobs that will not tie up the printer for long are assigned higher priorities than long multi-page print jobs.

Excerpt from The Algorithm Design Manual: Priority queues are useful data structures in simulations, particularly for maintaining a set of future events ordered by time so that we can quickly retrieve what the next thing to happen is.
