In this paper, we consider five models of heavy-tailed queues involving Mittag-Leffler distributions that generalize the classical $M/M/1$ queues. These models are suitable modifications of previously defined models in such a way that the…
Service systems like data centers and ride-hailing are popularly modeled as queueing systems in the literature. Such systems are primarily studied in the steady state due to their analytical tractability. However, almost all applications in…
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…
Two networks of queues models, presented initially by Jackson, in the open case, and Gordon and Newell, in the closed case, stochastic processes are presented and studied in some of their details and problems. The service times are…
We consider a GI/H/n queueing system. In this system, there are multiple servers in the queue. The inter-arrival time is general and independent, and the service time follows hyper-exponential distribution. Instead of stochastic…
In a mixture of linear regression model, the regression coefficients are treated as random vectors that may follow either a continuous or discrete distribution. We propose two Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithms to estimate this prior…
In this paper, we study the $G/\mathit{GI}/N$ queue in the Halfin--Whitt regime. Our first result is to obtain a deterministic fluid limit for the properly centered and scaled number of customers in the system which may be used to provide a…
We consider a polling system with two queues, exhaustive service, no switch-over times and exponential service times. The waiting cost depends on the position of the queue relative to the server: It costs a customer c per time unit to wait…

Designing and implementing efficient parallel priority schedulers is an active research area. An intriguing proposed design is the Multi-Queue: given $n$ threads and $m\ge n$ distinct priority queues, task insertions are performed uniformly…
An exact formula for the equilibrium M/U/1 waiting time density is now effectively known. What began as a numeric exploration became a symbolic banquet. Inverse Laplace transforms provided breadcrumbs in the trail; delay differential…
Motivated by applications in computing and telecommunication systems, we investigate the problem of estimating p-quantile of steady-state sojourn times in a single-server multi-class queueing system with non-preemptive priorities for p…
Some important results on the variance of the $M|G|\infty$ queue busy period are presented. Often, this parameter depends on the whole structure of the service time distribution. So, the importance of the bounds presented, depending only on…
Denied boarding in congested transit systems induces queuing delays and departure-time shifts that can reshape passenger flows. Correctly modeling these responses in transit assignment hinges on the enforcement of two priority rules:…
We consider the serve-the-longest-queue discipline for a multiclass queue with buffers of equal size, operating under (i) the conventional and (ii) the Halfin-Whitt heavy traffic regimes, and show that while the queue length process'…
We study a discrete time queueing system where deterministic arrivals have i.i.d. exponential delays $\xi_{i}$. The standard deviation $\sigma$ of the delay is finite, but its value is much larger than the deterministic unit service time.…
In the purpose of making the consensus algorithm robust to outliers, consensus on the median value has recently attracted some attention. It has its applicability in for instance constructing a resilient distributed state estimator.…
Extending to dimension 2 and higher the dual univariate concepts of ranks and quantiles has remained an open problem for more than half a century. Based on measure transportation results, a solution has been proposed recently under the name…
We consider a tandem queue with coupled processors, which is subject to global breakdowns. When the network is in the operating mode and both queues are non empty, the total service capacity is shared among the stations according to fixed…
Priority queues are abstract data structures which store a set of key/value pairs and allow efficient access to the item with the minimal (maximal) key. Such queues are an important element in various areas of computer science such as…
