Queues that feature multiple entities arriving simultaneously are among the oldest models in queueing theory, and are often referred to as "batch" (or, in some cases, "bulk") arrival queueing systems. In this work we study the affect of…
In this paper we consider an M/G/1-type queue fed by a finite customer-pool. In terms of transforms, we characterize the time-dependent distribution of the number of customers and the workload, as well as the associated waiting times.
In this paper, we introduce the online service with delay problem. In this problem, there are $n$ points in a metric space that issue service requests over time, and a server that serves these requests. The goal is to minimize the sum of…
This short communication considers an infinite-server system with overdispersed input. The objective is to identify the exact tail asymptotics of the number of customers present at a given point in time under a specific scaling of the model…
Strategic customer behavior is strongly influenced by the level of information that is provided to customers. Hence, to optimize the design of queueing systems, many studies consider various versions of the same service model and compare…
Recent studies indicate that in many situations service times are affected by the experienced queueing delay of the particular customer. This effect has been detected in different areas, such as health care, call centers and…
We consider sojourn or response times in processor-shared queues that have a finite population of potential users. Computing the response time of a tagged customer involves solving a finite system of linear ODEs. Writing the system in…
This paper concerns the recurrence structure of the infinite server queue, as viewed through the prism of the maximum dater sequence, namely the time to drain the current work in the system as seen at arrival epochs. Despite the importance…
We consider queueing models, where customers arrive according to a continuous-time binomial process on a finite interval. In this arrival process, a total of $K$ customers arrive in the finite time interval $[0,T]$, where arrival times of…
We use multidimensional diffusion processes to approximate the dynamics of a queue served by many parallel servers. The queue is served in the first-in-first-out (FIFO) order and the customers waiting in queue may abandon the system without…
The queue system,with Poisson arrivals,constant service time and infinite servers, busy period distribution is intensively studied because, due to its probability density function quite easy interpretation, it may serve as a clue to…
In this paper we consider a single-server cyclic polling system consisting of two queues. Between visits to successive queues, the server is delayed by a random switch-over time. Two types of customers arrive at the first queue: high and…
A single server retrial queueing system with two-classes of orbiting customers, and general class dependent service times is considered. If an arriving customer finds the server unavailable, it enters a virtual queue, called the orbit,…
This paper considers a network of infinite-server queues with the special feature that, triggered by specific events, the network population vector may undergo a linear transformation (a `multiplicative transition'). For this model we…
We consider a two-node tandem queueing network in which the upstream queue is GI/GI/1 and each job reuses its upstream service requirement when moving to the downstream queue. Both servers employ the first-in-first-out policy. To…
This paper presents a second-order heavy traffic analysis of a single server queue that processes customers having deadlines using the earliest-deadline-first scheduling policy. For such systems, referred to as real-time queueing systems,…
The paper studies a multiserver retrial queueing system with $m$ servers. Arrival process is a point process with strictly stationary and ergodic increments. A customer arriving to the system occupies one of the free servers. If upon…
We introduce and study a queue with the Erlang service system and whose arrivals are governed by a counting process in which there is a possibility of finitely many arrivals in an infinitesimal time interval. We call it the Erlang queue…
There are $n$ queues, each with a single server. Customers arrive in a Poisson process at rate $\lambda n$, where $0<\lambda<1$. Upon arrival each customer selects $d\geq2$ servers uniformly at random, and joins the queue at a least-loaded…
We study a parallel queueing system with multiple types of servers and customers. A bipartite graph describes which pairs of customer-server types are compatible. We consider the service policy that always assigns servers to the first,…
