A "scheduled" arrival process is one in which the n th arrival is scheduled for time n, but instead occurs at a different time. The difference between the scheduled time and the arrival time is called the perturbation. The sequence of…
This paper considers a parallel system of queues fed by independent arrival streams, where the service rate of each queue depends on the number of customers in all of the queues. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of the…
A matching queue is described via a graph $G$ together with a matching policy. Specifically, to each node in the graph there is a corresponding arrival process of items which can either be queued, or matched with queued items in neighboring…
We consider a discrete-time system comprising a first-come-first-served queue, a non-preemptive server, and a scheduler that governs the assignment of tasks in the queue to the server. The server has an availability state that indicates, at…
One of the basic properties of a queueing network is stability. Roughly speaking, it is the property that the total number of jobs in the network remains bounded as a function of time. One of the key questions related to the stability issue…
We consider a load balancing system consisting of $n$ single-server queues working in parallel, with heterogeneous service rates. Jobs arrive to a central dispatcher, which has to dispatch them to one of the queues immediately upon arrival.…
The push-pull queueing network is a simple example in which servers either serve jobs or generate new arrivals. It was previously conjectured that there is no policy that makes the network positive recurrent (stable) in the critical case.…
In this paper, we present a condition to obtain instability for a class of queueing networks where the arrival rates in each server are constant and the departure rate in each server is a decreasing function of the queue lengths of other…
Network capacity region of multi-queue multi-server queueing system with random ON-OFF connectivities and stationary arrival processes is derived in this paper. Specifically, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of the…
In this paper, we introduce a model of dynamical queue, in which the service time depends on the server utilization history. The proposed queueing model is motivated by widely accepted empirical laws describing human performance as a…
We study the information-theoretic limit of reliable information processing by a server with queue-length dependent quality of service. We define the capacity for such a system as the number of bits reliably processed per unit time, and…
We consider the $N$-model queueing system with a waiting time dependent threshold on the diagonal: the service discipline is First--Come--First--Served, but type-1 jobs can only be served by server 2 if their waiting time exceeds a…
In this paper, we present a stability criterion for Processor Sharing queues, in which the throughput may depend on the number of customers in the system (in such cases such as interferences between the users). Such a system is represented…
This note introduces a piecewise-deterministic queueing (PDQ) model to study the stability of traffic queues in parallel-link transportation systems facing stochastic capacity fluctuations. The saturation rate (capacity) of the PDQ model…
Amid unprecedented times caused by COVID-19, healthcare systems all over the world are strained to the limits of, or even beyond, capacity. A similar event is experienced by some healthcare systems regularly, due to for instance seasonal…
In this paper, we study the stability of queues with impatient customers. Under general stationary ergodic assumptions, we first provide some conditions for such a queue to be regenerative (i.e. to empty a.s. an infinite number of times).…
Recent development of peer-to-peer (P2P) services (e.g. streaming, file sharing, and storage) systems introduces a new type of queue systems that receive little attention before, where both job and server arrive and depart randomly. Current…
We consider a queueing system composed of a dispatcher that routes deterministically jobs to a set of non-observable queues working in parallel. In this setting, the fundamental problem is which policy should the dispatcher implement to…
We consider the problem of scheduling a queueing system in which many statistically identical servers cater to several classes of impatient customers. Service times and impatience clocks are exponential while arrival processes are renewal.…
We consider a two station cascade system in which waiting or externally arriving customers at station $1$ move to the station $2$ if the queue size of station $1$ including a customer being served is greater than a given threshold level…
