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.…
In this paper we analyze a single server queue with batch arrivals and semi-Markovian service times. We also include the feature that the first service of each busy period might have a different distribution than subsequent service times.…
The presented study elaborates a multi-server priority queueing model considering the pre-emptive repeat policy and phase-type distribution (PH) for retrial process. The incoming heterogeneous calls are categorized as handoff calls and new…
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 many-server queueing systems with heterogeneous exponential servers and renewal arrivals. The service rate of each server is a random variable drawn from a given distribution. We develop a framework for analyzing the heavy…
We establish heavy-traffic stochastic-process limits for waiting times in many-server queues with customer abandonment. If the system is asymptotically critically loaded, as in the quality-and-efficiency-driven (QED) regime, then a bounding…
The Join-the-Shortest-Queue routing policy is studied in an asymptotic regime where the number of processors $n$ scales with the arrival rate. A large deviation principle (LDP) for the occupancy process is established, as $n\to \infty$, in…
We extend the Markov additive methodology developed in [Ann. Appl. Probab. 9 (1999) 110-145, Ann. Appl. Probab. 11 (2001) 596-607] to obtain the sharp asymptotics of the steady state probability of a queueing network when one of the nodes…
We consider a system of N queues with decentralized load balancing such as power-of-D strategies(where D may depend on N) and generic scheduling disciplines. To measure the dependence of the queues, we use the clan of ancestors, a technique…
We characterize heavy-traffic process and steady-state limits for systems staffed according to the square-root safety rule, when the service requirements of the customers are perfectly correlated with their individual patience for waiting…
We consider a multi-server queue in the Halfin-Whitt regime: as the number of servers $n$ grows without a bound, the utilization approaches 1 from below at the rate $\Theta(1/\sqrt{n})$. Assuming that the service time distribution is…
We study a general $k$ dimensional infinite server queues process with Markov switching, Poisson arrivals and where the service times are fat tailed with index $\alpha\in (0,1)$. When the arrival rate is sped up by a factor $n^\gamma$, the…
In this paper we revisit the Markovian queueing system with a single server, infinite capacity queue and the special queue skipping policy. Customers arrive in batches, but are served one by one according to any conservative discipline. The…
Bitrate adaptation (also known as ABR) is a crucial technique to improve the quality of experience (QoE) for video streaming applications. However, existing ABR algorithms suffer from severe traffic wastage, which refers to the traffic cost…
We study ergodic properties of Markovian multiclass many-server queues which are uniform over scheduling policies, as well as the size n of the system. The system is heavily loaded in the Halfin-Whitt regime, and the scheduling policies are…

We consider a load balancing model where a Poisson stream of jobs arrive at a system of many servers whose service time distribution possesses a finite second moment. A small fraction of arrivals pass through the so called power-of-choice…
