Arrival processes to service systems often display (i) larger than anticipated fluctuations, (ii) a time-varying rate, and (iii) temporal correlation. Motivated by this, we introduce a specific non-homogeneous Poisson process that…
We consider the problem of scheduling multiprocessor jobs to minimize the total completion time under the given energy budget. Each multiprocessor job requires more than one processor at the same moment of time. Processors may operate at…
Multiserver jobs, which are jobs that occupy multiple servers simultaneously during service, are prevalent in today's computing clusters. But little is known about the delay performance of systems with multiserver jobs. We consider queueing…
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…
The parallel execution of requests in a Cloud Computing platform, as for Virtualized Network Functions, is modeled by an $M^{[X]}/M/1$ Processor-Sharing (PS) system, where each request is seen as a batch of unit jobs. The performance of…
We consider the processor sharing $M/M/1$-PS queue which also models balking. A customer that arrives and sees $n$ others in the system "balks" (i.e., decides not to enter) with probability $1-b_n$. If $b_n$ is inversely proportional to…
Motivated by demand prediction for the custodial prison population in England and Wales, this paper describes an approach to the study of service systems using infinite server queues, where the system has non-empty initial state and the…
In this study, we consider multi-class multi-server asymmetric queueing systems consisting of $N$ queues on one side and $K$ servers on the other side, where jobs randomly arrive in queues at each time. The service rate of each job-server…
We consider a large distributed service system consisting of $n$ homogeneous servers with infinite capacity FIFO queues. Jobs arrive as a Poisson process of rate $\lambda n/k_n$ (for some positive constant $\lambda$ and integer $k_n$). Each…
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…
As job redundancy has been recognized as an effective means to improve performance of large-scale computer systems, queueing systems with redundancy have been studied by various authors. Existing results include methods to compute the queue…
We study Batch Processor-Sharing (BPS) queuing model with hyper-exponential service time distribution and Poisson batch arrival process. One of the main goals to study BPS is the possibility of its application in size-based scheduling,…
This paper purpose is to investigate exponential behavior conditions for the infinite servers queue with Poisson arrivals busy period length distribution. It is presented a general theoretical result that is the basis of this work. The…
In this paper we consider a single-server, cyclic polling system with switch-over times and Poisson arrivals. The service disciplines that are discussed, are exhaustive and gated service. The novel contribution of the present paper is that…
A many-server queueing system is considered in which customers arrive according to a renewal process and have service and patience times that are drawn from two independent sequences of independent, identically distributed random variables.…
Networks in which the processing of jobs occurs both sequentially and in parallel are prevalent in many application domains, such as computer systems, healthcare, manufacturing, and project management. The parallel processing of jobs gives…
We consider a polling system: a queueing system of $N\ge 1$ queues with Poisson arrivals $Q_1,...,Q_N$ visited in a cyclic order (with or without switchover times) by a single server. For this system we derive the probability generating…
In this paper we consider a single-server, cyclic polling system with switch-over times. A distinguishing feature of the model is that the rates of the Poisson arrival processes at the various queues depend on the server location. For this…
The Join-the-Shortest-Queue routing policy is studied in an asymptotic regime where the number of processors $n$ scales with the arrival rate. A large deviation principle (LDP) for the occupancy process is established, as $n\to \infty$, in…
Motivated by applications that involve setting proper staffing levels for multi-server queueing systems with batch arrivals, we present a thorough study of the queue-length process $\{Q(t); t \geq 0\}$, departure process $\{D(t); t \geq…
