A special customer must complete service from two servers in series, in either order, each with an M/M/1 queueing system. It is assumed that the two queueing system lengths are independent with initial numbers of customers a and b at the…
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…

Queues that feature multiple entities arriving simultaneously are among the oldest models in queueing theory, and are often referred to as "batch" (or, in some cases, "bulk") arrival queueing systems. In this work we study the affect of…
