A single-server queuing model is considered with customers that have deadlines. If a customer's deadline elapses before service is offered, the customer abandons the system (customers do not abandon while being served). When the server…
A many-server queueing system is considered in which customers with independent and identically distributed service times enter service in the order of arrival. The state of the system is represented by a process that describes the total…
We consider the single server queue with service in random order. For a large class of heavy-tailed service time distributions, we determine the asymptotic behavior of the waiting time distribution. For the special case of Poisson arrivals…
In this work, we study the stationary distribution of the scaled queue length vector process in multiclass queueing networks operating under static buffer priority service policies. We establish that when subjected to a multi-scale heavy…
The infinite-server queueing models with homogeneous and non-homogeneous arrivals of customers and catastrophes are considered. The probability generating functions of joint distributions of numbers of busy servers and served customers, as…
We study a system, where a random flow of customers is served by servers (called agents) invited on-demand. Each invited agent arrives into the system after a random time; after each service completion, an agent returns to the system or…
In this paper, we consider modeling time-dependent multi-server queues that include abandonments and retrials. For the performance analysis of those, fluid and diffusion models called "strong approximations" have been widely used in the…
We give a simple derivation of the distribution of the maximum L of the length of the queue during a busy period for the M/M/1 queue with lambda<1 the ratio between arrival rate and service rate. We observe that the asymptotic behavior of…
We consider a model for transitory queues in which only a finite number of customers can join. The queue thus operates over a finite time horizon. In this system, also known as the $\Delta_{(i)}/G/1$ queue, the customers decide…
In this paper we consider an M/G/1-type queue fed by a finite customer-pool. In terms of transforms, we characterize the time-dependent distribution of the number of customers and the workload, as well as the associated waiting times.
A multiclass queueing system is considered, with heterogeneous service stations, each consisting of many servers with identical capabilities. An optimal control problem is formulated, where the control corresponds to scheduling and routing,…
We consider GI/Ph/n+M parallel-server systems with a renewal arrival process, a phase-type service time distribution, n homogenous servers, and an exponential patience time distribution with positive rate. We show that in the Halfin-Whitt…
We investigate a processor sharing queue with renewal arrivals and generally distributed service times. Impatient jobs may abandon the queue, or renege, before completing service. The corresponding stochastic processes are represented by…
The asymptotic behaviour of a closed BCMP network, with $n$ queues and $m_n$ clients, is analyzed when $n$ and $m_n$ become simultaneously large. Our method relies on Berry-Esseen type approximations coming in the Central Limit Theorem. We…
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…
In this thesis, we study the queueing systems with heterogeneous servers and service rate uncertainty under the Halfin-Whitt heavy traffic regime. First, we analyse many server queues with abandonments when service rates are i.i.d. random…
Two networks of queues models, presented initially by Jackson, in the open case, and Gordon and Newell, in the closed case, stochastic processes are presented and studied in some of their details and problems. The service times are…
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…
This paper develops fluid limits for nonstationary many-server loss systems with general service-time distributions. For the zero-buffer $M_t/G/n/n$ queuing model, we prove a functional strong law of large numbers for the fraction of busy…
Given a random variable $N$ with values in ${\mathbb{N}}$, and $N$ i.i.d. positive random variables $\{\mu_k\}$, we consider a queue with renewal arrivals and $N$ exponential servers, where server $k$ serves at rate $\mu_k$, under two work…
