This work considers a many-server queueing system in which impatient customers with i.i.d., generally distributed service times and i.i.d., generally distributed patience times enter service in the order of arrival and abandon the queue if…
A many-server queueing system is considered in which customers arrive according to a renewal process and have service and patience times that are drawn from two independent sequences of independent, identically distributed random variables.…
A FORTRAN program to simulate the operation of infinite servers queues is presented in this work. Poisson arrivals processes are considered but not only. For many parameters of interest in queuing systems study or application, either there…
This paper studies a diffusion model that arises as the limit of a queueing system scheduling problem in the asymptotic heavy traffic regime of Halfin and Whitt. The queueing system consists of several customer classes and many servers…
In this paper continuity theorems are established for the number of losses during a busy period of the $M/M/1/n$ queue. We consider an $M/GI/1/n$ queueing system where the service time probability distribution, slightly different in a…
A heterogeneous closed network with one-server queues with finite capacity and one infinite-server queue is studied. A target application is bike-sharing systems. Heterogeneity is taken into account through clusters whose queues have the…
Service systems often face task-server assignment-constraints due to skill-based routing or geographical conditions. Redundancy scheduling responds to this limited flexibility by replicating tasks to specific servers in agreement with these…
This paper analyzes single-item continuous-review inventory models with random supplies in which the inventory dynamic between orders is described by a diffusion process, and a long-term average cost criterion is used to evaluate decisions.…
It's a situation everyone dreads. A road is down to one lane for repairs. Traffic is let through one way until the backlog clears and then traffic is let through the other way to clear that backlog and so on. When stuck in a very long queue…
We consider a system consisting of a server alternating between two service points. At both service points there is an infinite queue of customers that have to undergo a preparation phase before being served. We are interested in the…
By analyzing energy-efficient management of data centers, this paper proposes and develops a class of interesting {\it Group-Server Queues}, and establishes two representative group-server queues through loss networks and impatient…
This paper studies the limiting behavior of a closed queueing network with multiple single-server and infinite-server stations. Under a heavy traffic asymptotic regime$\unicode{x2014}$where the number of jobs and single-server service rates…
Motivated by health care systems with repeated services that have both personnel (nurse and physician) and space (beds) constraints, we study a restricted version of the Erlang-R model. The space restriction policies we consider are…
Motivated by the work of Whitt, who studied stabilization of the mean virtual waiting time (excluding service time) in a $GI_t/GI_t/1/FCFS$ queue, this paper investigates the stabilization of the mean virtual response time in a…
We use multidimensional diffusion processes to approximate the dynamics of a queue served by many parallel servers. The queue is served in the first-in-first-out (FIFO) order and the customers waiting in queue may abandon the system without…
The paper considers a queueing system with limited processor sharing. No more than n jobs may be served simultaneously. This system may be used for modeling bandwidth sharing in wireless communication systems and processes of service in…
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.…
We study the sojourn time in a queueing system with a single exponential server, serving a Poisson stream of customers in order of arrival. Service is provided at low or high rate, which can be adapted at exponential inspection times. When…
In this paper, we will develop a tool to analyze polling systems with the autonomous-server, the time-limited, and the k-limited service discipline. It is known that these disciplines do not satisfy the well-known branching property in…
This paper considers a parallel system of queues fed by independent arrival streams, where the service rate of each queue depends on the number of customers in all of the queues. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of the…
