We consider the heavy-traffic approximation to the $GI/M/s$ queueing system in the Halfin-Whitt regime, where both the number of servers $s$ and the arrival rate $\lambda$ grow large (taking the service rate as unity), with…
Consider a system of identical server pools where tasks with exponentially distributed service times arrive as a time-inhomogenenous Poisson process. An admission threshold is used in an inner control loop to assign incoming tasks to server…
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…
In this paper, we consider the number of both arrivals and departures seen by a tagged customer while in service in a classical $M/M/1$ processor sharing queue. By exploiting the underlying orthogonal structure of this queuing system…
Queueing networks are typically modelled assuming that the arrival process is exogenous, and unaffected by admission control, scheduling policies, etc. In many situations, however, users choose the time of their arrival strategically,…
We consider a Markovian single server queue in which customers are preemptively scheduled by exogenously assigned priority levels. The novelty in our model is that the priority levels are randomly assigned from a continuous probability…
This paper introduces and analyzes the notion of throughput suboptimality for many-server queueing systems in heavy traffic. The queueing model under consideration has multiple customer classes, indexed by a finite set $\mathcal{I}$, and…
Queueing networks are notoriously difficult to analyze sans both Markovian and stationarity assumptions. Much of the theoretical contribution towards performance analysis of time-inhomogeneous single class queueing networks has focused on…
We consider a service system model primarily motivated by the problem of efficient assignment of virtual machines to physical host machines in a network cloud, so that the number of occupied hosts is minimized. There are multiple input…
We consider a model for transitory queues in which only a finite number of customers can join. The queue thus operates over a finite time horizon. In this system, also known as the $\Delta_{(i)}/G/1$ queue, the customers decide…
We introduce the first class of perfect sampling algorithms for the steady-state distribution of multi-server queues with general interarrival time and service time distributions. Our algorithm is built on the classical dominated coupling…
We introduce the prioritising exclusion process, a stochastic scheduling mechanism for a priority queueing system in which high priority customers gain advantage by overtaking low priority customers. The model is analogous to a totally…
The performance of non-preemptive M/M/1 queueing system with two priority is analyzed. By using complementary variable method to make vector Markov process and analyzing the state-change equations of the queueing system, the generating…
This work introduces a model-based framework that reveals the idle opportunity of modern servers running latency-critical applications. Specifically, three queuing models, M/M/1, cxM/M/1, and M/M/c, are used to estimate the theoretical idle…
In this paper, we analyze how well a machine can solve a general problem in queueing theory. To answer this question, we use a deep learning model to predict the stationary queue-length distribution of an $M/G/1$ queue (Poisson arrivals,…
We consider a discrete population of users with homogeneous service demand who need to decide when to arrive to a system in which the service rate deteriorates linearly with the number of users in the system. The users have heterogeneous…
We consider transmission of packets over queue-length sensitive unreliable links, where packets are randomly corrupted through a noisy channel whose transition probabilities are modulated by the queue-length. The goal is to characterize the…
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…
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…
In queueing systems, effective scheduling algorithms are essential for optimizing performance. Optimal scheduling for the M/G/k queue has been explored in the heavy traffic limit, but much remains unknown in the intermediate load regime. In…
