We study the unit-demand capacitated vehicle routing problem in the random setting of the Euclidean plane. The objective is to visit $n$ random terminals in a square using a set of tours of minimum total length, such that each tour visits…
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…
This paper studies a class of load balancing algorithms for many-server ($N$ servers) systems assuming finite buffer with size $b-1$ (i.e. a server can have at most one job in service and $b-1$ jobs in queue). We focus on steady-state…
We consider a two-queue polling model with switch-over times and $k$-limited service (serve at most $k_i$ customers during one visit period to queue $i$) in each queue. The major benefit of the $k$-limited service discipline is that it -…
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,…
This paper studies many-server limits for multi-server queues that have a phase-type service time distribution and allow for customer abandonment. The first set of limit theorems is for critically loaded $G/Ph/n+GI$ queues, where the…
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…
We establish heavy-traffic stochastic-process limits for waiting times in many-server queues with customer abandonment. If the system is asymptotically critically loaded, as in the quality-and-efficiency-driven (QED) regime, then a bounding…
We consider the problem of using location queries to monitor the congestion potential among a collection of entities moving, with bounded speed but otherwise unpredictably, in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. Uncertainty in entity locations…

This paper proposes a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on a traveling lane, which is equipped with a queueing system and functions of site assignments along the parking lane. In the proposed system, new particles arrive at the…
Let $Q_{\lambda}(t,y) $ be the number of people present at time $t$ with $y$ units of remaining service time in an infinite server system with arrival rate equal to $\lambda>0$. In the presence of a non-lattice renewal arrival process and…
We analyze the latency or sojourn time L(m,n) for the last customer in a batch of n customers to exit from the m-th queue in a tandem of m queues in the setting where the queues are in equilibrium before the batch of customers arrives at…
We study the problem of equitably and efficiently allocating an arriving resource to multiple queues with customer abandonment. The problem is motivated by the cadaveric liver allocation system of the United States, which includes a large…
This paper studies the rate of convergence of the power-of-two-choices, a celebrated randomized load balancing algorithm for many-server queueing systems, to its mean field limit. The convergence to the mean-field limit has been proved in…
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…
In the supermarket model, there are $n$ queues, each with a single server. Customers arrive in a Poisson process with arrival rate $\lambda n$, where $\lambda = \lambda (n) \in (0,1)$. Upon arrival, a customer selects $d=d(n)$ servers…
We consider a service system with two Poisson arrival queues. A server chooses which queue to serve at each moment. Once a queue is served, all the customers will be served within a fixed amount of time. This model is useful in studying…
This note describes several open questions concerning scaling limits of queue-length processes of symmetric queues in heavy traffic, distinguishing between service-time distributions with finite and infinite variance.
This paper purpose is to investigate exponential behavior conditions for the infinite servers queue with Poisson arrivals busy period length distribution. It is presented a general theoretical result that is the basis of this work. The…
