Delay or queue length information has the potential to influence the decision of a customer to use a service system. Thus, it is imperative for service system managers to understand how the information that they provide will affect the…
In this paper, we consider a new queueing model where queues balance themselves according to a mean field interaction with a time delay. Unlike other work with delayed information our model considers multi-server queues with customer…
Understanding how delayed information impacts queueing systems is an important area of research. However, much of the current literature neglects one important feature of many queueing systems, namely non-stationary arrivals. Non-stationary…
Giving customers queue length information about a service system has the potential to influence the decision of a customer to join a queue. Thus, it is imperative for managers of queueing systems to understand how the information that they…
Motivated by interest in providing more efficient services in customer service systems, we use statistical learning methods and delay history information to predict the conditional distribution of the customers' waiting times in queueing…
Although routing applications increasingly affect individual mobility choices, their impact on collective traffic dynamics remains largely unknown. Smart communication technologies provide accurate traffic data for choosing one route over…
Rather than directly considering the queuing delay of data, this memo focuses on reducing the delay that congestion signals experience within a queue management algorithm, which can be greater than the delay that the data itself experiences…
Many service systems provide customers with information about the system so that customers can make an informed decision about whether to join or not. Many of these systems provide information in the form of an update. Thus, the information…
Time delays may cause dramatic changes to the dynamics of interacting oscillators. Coupled networks of interacting dynamical systems can behave unexpectedly when the signal between the vertices are time delayed. It has been shown for a very…
Delayed processes are ubiquitous in biological systems and are often characterized by delay differential equations (DDEs) and their extension to include stochastic effects. DDEs do not explicitly incorporate intermediate states associated…
In the same way that subsequent pauses in spoken language are used to convey information, it is also possible to transmit information in communication networks not only by message content, but also with its timing. This paper presents an…
We study the necessity of predictive information in a class of queueing admission control problems, where a system manager is allowed to divert incoming jobs up to a fixed rate, in order to minimize the queueing delay experienced by the…
We demonstrate that in Optimal Velocity Model (OVM) delay times of vehicles coming from the dynamical equation of motion of OVM almost explain the order of delay times observed in actual traffic flows without introducing explicit delay…
We study how queue-state information disclosures affect impatient tenants in multi-tenant edge systems. We propose an information-bulletin strategy in which each queue periodically broadcasts two Markov models. One is a model of…
In networks with intermittent connectivity, such as mobile, aerial, and space systems, maintaining information freshness is complicated by time-varying arrivals, service disruptions, and interactions among traffic classes with different…
Network Utility Maximization (NUM) studies the problems of allocating traffic rates to network users in order to maximize the users' total utility subject to network resource constraints. In this paper, we propose a new NUM framework,…
Recent years have seen a great increase in the capacity and parallel processing power of data centers and cloud services. To fully utilize the said distributed systems, optimal load balancing for parallel queuing architectures must be…
In this paper, we study queueing systems with delayed information that use a generalization of the multinomial logit choice model as its arrival process. Previous literature assumes that the functional form of the multinomial logit model is…
We consider a service system with an infinite number of exponential servers sharing a finite service capacity. The servers are ordered according to their speed, and arriving customers join the fastest idle server. A capacity allocation is…
The time needed to exchange information in the physical world induces a delay term when the respective system is modeled by differential equations. Time delays are hence ubiquitous, being furthermore likely to induce instabilities and with…
