In discrete time, customers arrive at random. Each waits until one of three servers is available; each thereafter departs at random. We seek the distribution of maximum line length of idle customers. Algebraic expressions obtained for the…

Tandem queueing networks are widely used to model systems where services are provided in sequential stages. In this study, we assume that each station in the tandem system operates under a general renewal process. Additionally, we assume…

We consider a heterogeneous queueing system consisting of one large pool of $O(r)$ identical servers, where $r\to\infty$ is the scaling parameter. The arriving customers belong to one of several classes which determines the service times in…

We investigate the long-run behavior of single-server queues with Hawkes arrivals and general service distributions and related optimization problems. In detail, utilizing novel coupling techniques, we establish finite moment bounds for the…

Let $X$ be the constrained random walk on ${\mathbb Z}_+^2$ having increments $(1,0)$, $(-1,1)$, $(0,-1)$ with jump probabilities $\lambda(M_k)$, $\mu_1(M_k)$, and $\mu_2(M_k)$ where $M$ is an irreducible aperiodic finite state Markov…

Let $X$ be the constrained random walk on ${\mathbb Z}_+^2$ with increments $(1,0)$, $(-1,0)$, $(0,1)$ and $(0,-1)$; $X$ represents, at arrivals and service completions, the lengths of two queues working in parallel whose service and…

We characterize heavy-traffic process and steady-state limits for systems staffed according to the square-root safety rule, when the service requirements of the customers are perfectly correlated with their individual patience for waiting…

We consider a single server queue which has a threshold to change its arrival process and service speed by its queue length, which is referred to as a two-level single server queue. This model is motivated by an energy saving problem for a…

We study the optimal scaling of the expected total queue size in an $n\times n$ input-queued switch, as a function of the number of ports $n$ and the load factor $\rho$, which has been conjectured to be $\Theta (n/(1-\rho))$. In a recent…

In this paper, we consider a $G_t/G_t/\infty$ infinite server queueing model in a random environment. More specifically, the arrival rate in our server is modeled as a highly fluctuating stochastic process, which arguably takes into account…

The problem of exact evaluation of the mean service cycle time in tandem systems of single-server queues with both infinite and finite buffers is considered. It is assumed that the interarrival and service times of customers form sequences…

We study a single server FIFO queue that offers general service. Each of n customers enter the queue at random time epochs that are inde- pendent and identically distributed. We call this the random scattering traffic model, and the…

We consider an acyclic network of single-server queues with heterogeneous processing rates. It is assumed that each queue is fed by the superposition of a large number of i.i.d. Gaussian processes with stationary increments and positive…

We study the impact of service-time distributions on the distribution of the maximum queue length during a busy period for the M^X/G/1 queue. The maximum queue length is an important random variable to understand when designing the buffer…

In this paper, we present a functional fluid limit theorem and a functional central limit theorem for a queue with an infinity of servers M/GI/$\infty$. The system is represented by a point-measure valued process keeping track of the…

In this paper we analyze a single server queue with batch arrivals and semi-Markovian service times. We also include the feature that the first service of each busy period might have a different distribution than subsequent service times.…

Estimation of the service time distribution in the discrete-time $GI/G/\infty$-queue based solely on information on the arrival and departure processes is considered. The focus is put on the estimation approach via the so called "sequence…

We consider a queue to which only a finite pool of $n$ customers can arrive, at times depending on their service requirement. A customer with stochastic service requirement $S$ arrives to the queue after an exponentially distributed time…

We consider a load balancing system comprised of a fixed number of single server queues, operating under the well-known Join-the-Shortest Queue policy, and where jobs/customers are impatient and abandon if they do not receive service after…
