We consider a discrete-time system comprising a first-come-first-served queue, a non-preemptive server, and a stationary non-work-conserving scheduler. New tasks enter the queue according to a Bernoulli process with a pre-specified arrival…
Response times collected in computerised assessments provide information about the underlying response process and may exhibit within-person variation over the course of a test. We propose a latent variable model for log response times that…
In this paper we consider a ring of $N\ge 1$ queues served by a single server in a cyclic order. After having served a queue (according to a service discipline that may vary from queue to queue), there is a switch-over period and then the…
Approximations for the mean performance indices for the M/G/c queue rely on the approximate computation of the probability that an arriving request has to wait for service and of the minimum of residual service times if all servers are…
We study three non-equivalent queueing models in continuous time that each generalise the classical M/M/1 queue in a different way. Inter-event times in all models are Mittag-Leffler distributed, which is a heavy tail distribution with no…
Due to the widespread applicability of discrete-time queues in wireless networks or telecommunication systems, this paper analyzes an infinite-buffer batch-service queue with single and multiple vacation where customers/messages arrive…
We consider a service system with two Poisson arrival queues. A server chooses which queue to serve at each moment. Once a queue is served, all the customers will be served within a fixed amount of time. This model is useful in studying…
We study a token-based central queue with multiple customer types. Customers of each type arrive according to a Poisson process and have an associated set of compatible tokens. Customers may only receive service when they have claimed a…
We analyze the latency or sojourn time L(m,n) for the last customer in a batch of n customers to exit from the m-th queue in a tandem of m queues in the setting where the queues are in equilibrium before the batch of customers arrives at…
We consider a service system where agents (or, servers) are invited on-demand. Customers arrive as a Poisson process and join a customer queue. Customer service times are i.i.d. exponential. Agents' behavior is random in two respects.…
We consider a discrete time parallel queue, which is two-queue network, where at each time-slot there is a the same batch arrival to both queues and at each queue there is a random service available. The service law at each time-slot for…
In this paper, we introduce and study a time-changed variant of the Erlang queue with multiple arrivals where the time-changing component used is the first hitting time of a tempered stable subordinator. The system of fractional…
This paper proposes a stochastic framework to evaluate the performance of public transit systems under short random service suspensions. We aim to derive closed-form formulations of the mean and variance of the queue length and waiting…
Motivated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this paper investigates customers' infection risk by evaluating the overlapping time of a virtual customer with others in queueing systems. Most of the current methodologies focus on…
The non-stationary Erlang-A queue is a fundamental queueing model that is used to describe the dynamic behavior of large scale multi-server service systems that may experience customer abandonments, such as call centers, hospitals, and…
In the infinite servers queue with Poisson arrivals real life practical applications, the busy period and the busy cycle probabilistic study is of main importance. But it is a very difficult task. In this text, we show that by solving a…
This paper considers appointment scheduling in a setting in which at every client arrival the schedule of all future clients can be adapted. Starting our analysis with an explicit treatment of the case of exponentially distributed service…
Two models of a queue are proposed: a human queue and two lines of vehicles before a narrowing. In both models, a queuer tries to evaluate his waiting time, taking into account the delay caused by intruders who jump to the queue front. As…
Discrete-time queueing system has widespread applications in packet switching networks, internet protocol, Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN), circuit switched time-division multiple access etc. In this paper, we analyze…
In practice, wireless networks are deployed over finite domains, the level of mobility is different at different locations, and user mobility is correlated over time. All these features have an impact on the temporal properties of…
