The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly becoming an integral part of our life and also multiple industries. We expect to see the number of IoT connected devices explosively grows and will reach hundreds of billions during the next few…
Driven by the visions of Internet of Things and 5G communications, the edge computing systems integrate computing, storage and network resources at the edge of the network to provide computing infrastructure, enabling developers to quickly…
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…
This paper is about optimally controlling skill-based queueing systems such as data centers, cloud computing networks, and service systems. By means of a case study using a real-world data set, we investigate the practical implementation of…
Containerization is a lightweight application virtualization technology, providing high environmental consistency, operating system distribution portability, and resource isolation. Existing mainstream cloud service providers have…
In this paper, we present long-awaited algorithmic advances toward the efficient construction of near-optimal replenishment policies for a true inventory management classic, the economic warehouse lot scheduling problem. While this paradigm…
With the rapid growth of global e-commerce, the demand for automation in the logistics industry is increasing. This study focuses on automated picking systems in warehouses, utilizing deep learning and reinforcement learning technologies to…
Motivated by timeouts in Internet services, we consider networks of infinite server queues in which routing decisions are based on deadlines. Specifically, at each node in the network, the total service time equals the minimum of several…
We consider a generalized processing system having several queues, where the available service rate combinations are fluctuating over time due to reliability and availability variations. The objective is to allocate the available resources,…
The success of any business depends on how well it is able to satisfy customer demand, while remaining financially viable. Globalisation and the growth of e-commerce have resulted in retail businesses having to manage increasing numbers of…
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…
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.…
Vacation queueing systems are widely used as an extension of the classical queueing theory. We consider both working vacations and regular vacations in this paper, and compare systems with vacations to the regular $M/M/1$ system via mean…
The work explores the integration of quantum computing into logistics and supply chain management, emphasising its potential for use in complex optimisation problems. The discussion introduces quantum computing principles, focusing on…
Wearable devices are a trending topic in both commercial and academic areas. Increasing demand for innovation has led to increased research and new products, addressing new challenges and creating profitable opportunities. However, despite…
Demand for studying queueing systems with multiple servers providing correlated services was created about 60 years ago, motivated by various applications. In recent years, the importance of such studies has been significantly increased,…
Supply chains are fundamental to the economy of the world and many supply chains focus on perishable items, such as food, or even clothing that is subject to a limited shelf life due to fashion and seasonable effects. G-networks have not…
A single queueing system with time-dependent exponentially distributed arrival processes and exponential machine processes (Kendall notation $M_t/M_t/1$) is analyzed. Modeling the time evolution for the discrete queue-length distribution by…
The aim of this review paper is to bring into light a potential area i.e., web services supply chains for research by analyzing the existing state of art in this. It is observed from the review process that there seems to be much less work…
To identify the causes of performance problems or to predict process behavior, it is essential to have correct and complete event data. This is particularly important for distributed systems with shared resources, e.g., one case can block…
