We consider a two-node tandem queueing network in which the upstream queue is M/G/1 and each job reuses its upstream service requirement when moving to the downstream queue. Both servers employ the first-in-first-out policy. We investigate…
We consider a system with N unit-service-rate queues in tandem, with exogenous arrivals of rate lambda at queue 1, under a back-pressure (MaxWeight) algorithm: service at queue n is blocked unless its queue length is greater than that of…
This paper introduces and analyzes the notion of throughput suboptimality for many-server queueing systems in heavy traffic. The queueing model under consideration has multiple customer classes, indexed by a finite set $\mathcal{I}$, and…
This paper studies the diffusion limit for a network of infinite-server queues operating under Markov modulation (meaning that the system's parameters depend on an autonomously evolving background process). In previous papers on (primarily…
This paper considers a GI/GI/1 processor sharing queue in which jobs have soft deadlines. At each point in time, the collection of residual service times and deadlines is modeled using a random counting measure on the right half-plane. The…
We investigate an M/M/1 queue operating in two switching environments, where the switch is governed by a two-state time-homogeneous Markov chain. This model allows to describe a system that is subject to regular operating phases alternating…
In this paper we study the Markov-modulated M/M/$\infty$ queue, with a focus on the correlation structure of the number of jobs in the system. The main results describe the system's asymptotic behavior under a particular scaling of the…
We carry out a delay stability analysis (i.e., determine conditions under which expected steady-state delays at a queue are finite) for a simple 3-queue system operated under the Max-Weight scheduling policy, for the case where one of the…
We study a double-ended queue which consists of two classes of customers. Whenever there is a pair of customers from both classes, they are matched and leave the system immediately. The matching follows first-come-first-serve principle. If…
In this paper, we analyse a single server polling model with two queues. Customers arrive at the two queues according to two independent Poisson processes. There is a single server that serves both queues with generally distributed service…
We prove several results about the rate of convergence to stationarity, that is, the spectral gap, for the M/M/n queue in the Halfin-Whitt regime. We identify the limiting rate of convergence to steady-state, and discover an asymptotic…
We study a sequence of single server queues with customer abandonment (GI/GI/1+GI) under heavy traffic. The patience time distributions vary with the sequence, which allows for a wider scope of applications. It is known ([20, 18]) that the…
This note introduces a piecewise-deterministic queueing (PDQ) model to study the stability of traffic queues in parallel-link transportation systems facing stochastic capacity fluctuations. The saturation rate (capacity) of the PDQ model…
A key operational challenge for call centers is to decide, in real time, which waiting customer should be served by which available agent. This is known as skill-based routing, and the decision becomes especially difficult in large systems…
We consider multi-component matching systems in heavy traffic consisting of $K\geq 2$ distinct perishable components which arrive randomly over time at high speed at the assemble-to-order station, and they wait in their respective queues…
This paper examines a continuous-time routing system with general interarrival and service time distributions, operating under the join-the-shortest-queue and power-of-two-choices policies. Under a weaker set of assumptions than those…
For a widely used hub-and-spoke closed product-form network consisting of an infinite-server node and several single-server queues, we characterize the maximum queue-length distribution in various operational regimes by leveraging a novel…
We study $n$ parallel queues in an extreme heavy-traffic regime: each server works at rate $n$, while jobs arrive to a dispatcher at rate $n^2-(a-b)\sqrt{n}$, with fixed $a>b>0$. Arrivals are routed by a marginal join-the-shortest-queue…
A parallel server system with $n$ identical servers is considered. The service time distribution has a finite mean $1/\mu$, but otherwise is arbitrary. Arriving customers are be routed to one of the servers immediately upon arrival.…
In this paper we study a non-stationary Markovian queueing model of a two-processor heterogeneous system with time-varying arrival and service rates. We obtain the bounds on the rate of convergence and find the main limiting characteristics…
