We develop a robust queueing network analyzer algorithm to approximate the steady-state performance of a single-class open queueing network of single-server queues with Markovian routing. The algorithm allows non-renewal external arrival…
Explicit and exact results are obtained for the joint queue-length distribution for the two-level non-preemptive Markovian priority queue. Marginal distributions are derived for the general multi-level problem. The results are based on a…
Queue length monitoring is a commonly arising problem in numerous applications such as queue management systems, scheduling, and traffic monitoring. Motivated by such applications, we formulate a queue monitoring problem, where there is a…
Inspired by the work of Atar and Miyazawa [1] (2026) as well as applications to energy-saving problems, we are interested in the heavy-traffic limit of the stationary queue length distribution, which is not addressed in [1]. In this paper,…
We study in this paper an $M/M/1$ queue whose server rate depends upon the state of an independent Ornstein-Uhlenbeck diffusion process $(X(t))$ so that its value at time $t$ is $\mu \phi(X(t))$, where $\phi(x)$ is some bounded function and…
A multi-channel queueing system is considered. The arriving requests differ in their type. Requests of each type arrive according to a Poisson process. The number of channels required for service with the rate equal to 1 depends of the…
We consider a stochastic network with mobile users in a heavy-traffic regime. We derive the scaling limit of the multi-dimensional queue length process and prove a form of spatial state space collapse. The proof exploits a recent result by…
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…
In this paper, we analyse a single server polling model with two queues. Customers arrive at the two queues according to two independent Poisson processes. There is a single server that serves both queues with generally distributed service…
We simulate queues of activity in a directed sandpile automaton in 1+1 dimensions by adding grains at the top row with driving rate $0 < r \leq 1$. The duration of elementary avalanches is exactly described by the distribution $P_1(t) \sim…
This paper addresses the analysis of the queue-length process of single-server queues under overdispersion, i.e., queues fed by an arrival process for which the variance of the number of arrivals in a given time window exceeds the…
Ride-hailing and autonomous mobility-on-demand operators reposition idle supply before future demand is fully observed. We study a retrieval-calibrated predict-then-optimize approach for this problem: historical demand regimes are matched…
We study ordinal makespan scheduling on small numbers of identical machines, with respect to two parallel solutions. In ordinal scheduling, it is known that jobs are sorted by non-increasing sizes, but the specific sizes are not known in…
The production network under examination consists of a number of workstations. Each workstation is a parallel configuration of machines performing the same kind of tasks on a given part. Parts move from one workstation to another and at…
In this paper, we present machine learning approaches for characterizing and forecasting the short-term demand for on-demand ride-hailing services. We propose the spatio-temporal estimation of the demand that is a function of variable…
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…
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…
We consider a single server retrial queue with the server subject to interruptions and classical retrial policy for the access from the orbit to the server. We analyze the equilibrium distribution of the system and obtain the generating…
We analyze an M/M/1 queue with a service discipline in which customers, upon arriving when the server is busy, search a sequence of stations for a vacant station at which to wait, and in which the server, upon becoming free when one or more…
With the increasing availability of transaction data collected by digital parking meters, paid curbside parking can be advantageously modeled as a network of interdependent queues. In this article we introduce methods for analyzing a…
