The problems arising when the moments of service time distributions, for which the MGinf queue system busy period and busy cycle become very easy to study, are presented and it is shown how to overcome them. The busy cycle renewal function…
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…
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…
This work studies queues in a Euclidean space. Consider $N$ servers that are distributed uniformly in $[0,1]^d$. Customers arrive at the servers according to independent stationary processes. Upon arrival, they probabilistically decide…
In this study, we consider multi-class multi-server asymmetric queueing systems consisting of $N$ queues on one side and $K$ servers on the other side, where jobs randomly arrive in queues at each time. The service rate of each job-server…
We use an Ornstein--Uhlenbeck (OU) process to approximate the queue length process in a $GI/GI/n+M$ queue. This one-dimensional diffusion model is able to produce accurate performance estimates in two overloaded regimes: In the first…
We consider an extension of the classical machine-repair model, where we assume that the machines, apart from receiving service from the repairman, also serve queues of products. The extended model can be viewed as a layered queueing…
We consider an M/M/1 feedback queue in which service attempts may fail, requiring the customer to rejoin the queue. Arriving customers act strategically, deciding whether to join the queue based on a threshold strategy that depends on the…
In this work, we consider the case where a source with bursty traffic can adjust the transmission duration in order to increase the reliability. The source is equipped with a queue in order to store the arriving packets. We model the system…
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…
We consider an M/M/Infinity service system in which an arriving customer is served by the first idle server in an infinite sequence S_1, S_2, ... of servers. We determine the first two terms in the asymptotic expansions of the moments of L…
We consider a model of queues in discrete time, with batch services and arrivals. The case where arrival and service batches both have Bernoulli distributions corresponds to a discrete-time M/M/1 queue, and the case where both have…
In this paper we describe a perfect simulation algorithm for the stable $M/G/c$ queue. Sigman (2011: Exact Simulation of the Stationary Distribution of the FIFO M/G/c Queue. Journal of Applied Probability, 48A, 209--213) showed how to build…
We are interested in a large queue in a $GI/G/k$ queue with heterogeneous servers. For this, we consider tail asymptotics and weak limit approximations for the stationary distribution of its queue length process in continuous time under a…
In this paper, we study the maximum waiting time $\max_{i\leq N}W_i(\cdot)$ in an $N$-server fork-join queue with heavy-tailed services as $N\to\infty$. The service times are the product of two random variables. One random variable has a…
We consider optimizing average queueing delay and average power consumption in a nonpreemptive multi-class M/G/1 queue with dynamic power control that affects instantaneous service rates. Four problems are studied: (1) satisfying per-class…
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 study the accumulation of resources within a target due to the interplay between continual delivery, driven by 1D stochastic search processes, and sequential consumption. The assumption of sequential consumption is key because it changes…
This paper presents a second-order heavy traffic analysis of a single server queue that processes customers having deadlines using the earliest-deadline-first scheduling policy. For such systems, referred to as real-time queueing systems,…
We consider a system with N unit-service-rate queues in tandem, with exogenous arrivals of rate lambda at queue 1, under a back-pressure (MaxWeight) algorithm: service at queue n is blocked unless its queue length is greater than that of…
