The models studied in the steady state involve two queues which are served either by a single server whose speed depends on the number of jobs present, or by several parallel servers whose number may be controlled dynamically. Job service…
In this paper continuity theorems are established for the number of losses during a busy period of the $M/M/1/n$ queue. We consider an $M/GI/1/n$ queueing system where the service time probability distribution, slightly different in a…
In order to obtain Markov heavy-traffic approximations for infinite-server queues with general non-exponential service-time distributions and general arrival processes, possibly with time-varying arrival rates, we establish heavy-traffic…
We consider exponential single server queues with state-dependent arrival and service rates which evolve under influences of external environments. The transitions of the queues are influenced by the environment's state and the movements of…
We introduce a general framework for the mean-field analysis of large-scale load-balancing networks with general service distributions. Specifically, we consider a parallel server network that consists of N queues and operates under the…
We study the ergodic properties of a class of controlled stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by $\alpha$-stable processes which arise as the limiting equations of multiclass queueing models in the Halfin-Whitt regime that have…
Motivated by queueing systems with heterogeneous parallel servers, we consider a class of structured multi-dimensional Markov processes whose state space can be partitioned into two parts: a finite set of boundary states and a structured…
Applications of stochastic models often involve the evaluation of steady-state performance, which requires solving a set of balance equations. In most cases of interest, the number of equations is infinite or even uncountable. As a result,…
Randomized load balancing networks arise in a variety of applications, and allow for efficient sharing of resources, while being relatively easy to implement. We consider a network of parallel queues in which incoming jobs with independent…
We consider a tandem queue with coupled processors, which is subject to global breakdowns. When the network is in the operating mode and both queues are non empty, the total service capacity is shared among the stations according to fixed…
We consider a system of $N$ parallel queues with identical exponential service rates and a single dispatcher where tasks arrive as a Poisson process. When a task arrives, the dispatcher always assigns it to an idle server, if there is any,…
In this paper, we use a machine learning approach to predict the stationary distributions of the number of customers in a single-staiton multi server system. We consider two systems, the first is $c$ homogeneous servers, namely 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…
In this paper we study the number of customers in infinite-server queues with a self-exciting (Hawkes) arrival process. Initially we assume that service requirements are exponentially distributed and that the Hawkes arrival process is of a…
We study symmetric queuing networks with moving servers and FIFO service discipline. The mean-field limit dynamics demonstrates unexpected behavior which we attribute to the meta-stability phenomenon. Large enough finite symmetric networks…
A Markovian single-server queue is studied in an interactive random environment. The arrival and service rates of the queue depend on the environment, while the transition dynamics of the random environment depends on the queue length. We…
This paper studies the diffusion limit for a network of infinite-server queues operating under Markov modulation (meaning that the system's parameters depend on an autonomously evolving background process). In previous papers on (primarily…
This is an expository review paper illustrating the ``martingale method'' for proving many-server heavy-traffic stochastic-process limits for queueing models, supporting diffusion-process approximations. Careful treatment is given to an…
We consider a Markovian single server queue in which customers are preemptively scheduled by exogenously assigned priority levels. The novelty in our model is that the priority levels are randomly assigned from a continuous probability…
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…
