We study the Multiserver-Job Queuing Model (MJQM) with general independent arrivals and service times under FCFS scheduling, using stochastic recurrence equations (SREs) and ergodic theory. We prove the monotonicity and separability…

A queueing model has $J\ge2$ heterogeneous service stations, each consisting of many independent servers with identical capabilities. Customers of $I\ge2$ classes can be served at these stations at different rates, that depend on both the…

We introduce a framework and develop a theory of transitory queueing models. These are models that are not only non-stationary and time-varying but also have other features such as the queueing system operates over finite time, or only a…

We study a queueing network with a single shared server, that serves the queues in a cyclic order according to the gated service discipline. External customers arrive at the queues according to independent Poisson processes. After…

We represent a computer cluster as a multi-server queue with some arbitrary bipartite graph of compatibilities between jobs and servers. Each server processes its jobs sequentially in FCFS order. The service rate of a job at any given time…

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,…
