In this paper, we deal with a two-queue polling system attended by a single server. The server visits the queues according to a Markovian routing mechnism. There are two-class customers in the first queue. Customers of each queue are served…
In this paper, we consider systems that can be modelled by $M \mid M \mid n$ queues with heterogeneous servers and non informed customers. Considering any two servers: we show that the probability that the fastest server is busy is smaller…
In heterogeneous networks (HetNets), load balancing among different tiers can be effectively achieved by a biased user association scheme with which each user chooses to associate with one base station (BS) based on the biased received…
A service system with multiple types of customers, arriving according to Poisson processes, is considered. The system is heterogeneous in that the servers also can be of multiple types. Each customer has an independent exponentially…
We study a queueing network with a strictly upper-triangular routing matrix, where each column contains at most one non-negative entry, and the root node receives input from a spectrally positive L\'{e}vy process. Our aim is to characterize…
Single-server queues with customer abandonment arise in call centers and many service systems, but steady-state performance measures remain analytically intractable beyond Markovian assumptions. This paper develops Robust Queueing (RQ)…
The problem of exact evaluation of the mean service cycle time in tandem systems of single-server queues with both infinite and finite buffers is considered. It is assumed that the interarrival and service times of customers form sequences…
Melamed's theorem states that for a Jackson queuing network, the equilibrium flow along a link follows Poisson distribution if and only if no customers can travel along the link more than once. Barbour \& Brown~(1996) considered the Poisson…
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…
We study a simple rate control scheme for a multiclass queuing network for which customers are partitioned into distinct flows that are queued separately at each station. The control scheme discards customers that arrive to the network…
A network of signalized intersections is modeled as a queuing network. The intersections are regulated by fixed-time (FT) controls, all with the same cycle length or period, $T$. Vehicles arrive from outside the network at entry links in a…
In this paper, we consider the number of both arrivals and departures seen by a tagged customer while in service in a classical $M/M/1$ processor sharing queue. By exploiting the underlying orthogonal structure of this queuing system…
The dynamics of pedestrian crowds has been studied intensively in recent years, both theoretically and empirically. However, in many situations pedestrian crowds are rather static, e.g. due to jamming near bottlenecks or queueing at ticket…
Motivated by the operational problems in click and collect systems, such as curbside pickup programs, we study a joint admission control and capacity allocation problem. We consider a system where arriving customers have preferred service…
Nowadays distributed computing approach has become very popular due to several advantages over the centralized computing approach as it also offers high performance computing at a very low cost. Each router implements some queuing mechanism…
Tandem queueing networks are widely used to model systems where services are provided in sequential stages. In this study, we assume that each station in the tandem system operates under a general renewal process. Additionally, we assume…
We study many-server queues with abandonment in which customers have general service and patience time distributions. The dynamics of the system are modeled using measure- valued processes, to keep track of the residual service and patience…
Recent development of peer-to-peer (P2P) services (e.g. streaming, file sharing, and storage) systems introduces a new type of queue systems that receive little attention before, where both job and server arrive and depart randomly. Current…
In a superscalar processor, instructions of various types flow through an execution pipeline, traversing hardware resources which are mostly shared among many different instruction types. A notable exception to shared pipeline resources is…
Till today we dreamt of imperceptible delay in a network. The computer science research grows today faster than ever offering more and more services (computational representational, graphical, intelligent implication etc) to its user. But…
