This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of the steady-state waiting time, W_infty, of the M/G/1 queue with subexponenential processing times for different combinations of traffic intensities and overflow levels. In particular, we provide…
We carry out a delay stability analysis (i.e., determine conditions under which expected steady-state delays at a queue are finite) for a simple 3-queue system operated under the Max-Weight scheduling policy, for the case where one of the…
Queueing networks are typically modelled assuming that the arrival process is exogenous, and unaffected by admission control, scheduling policies, etc. In many situations, however, users choose the time of their arrival strategically,…
Scattering dynamics are examined for Gaussian and non-Gaussian wave packets with identical momentum densities. Average arrival time delays, dwell times, and phase time delays are calculated for wave packets scattering from a square barrier,…
Pedestrian arrival times exhibit complex temporal organization across multiple scales, shaped by working hours, transportation schedules, and collective behaviors - features often neglected in conventional pedestrian arrival models. Using a…
We propose a new abstract formalism for probabilistic timed systems, Parametric Interval Probabilistic Timed Automata, based on an extension of Parametric Timed Automata and Interval Markov Chains. In this context, we consider the…
In this paper, we present a condition to obtain instability for a class of queueing networks where the arrival rates in each server are constant and the departure rate in each server is a decreasing function of the queue lengths of other…
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…
Amid unprecedented times caused by COVID-19, healthcare systems all over the world are strained to the limits of, or even beyond, capacity. A similar event is experienced by some healthcare systems regularly, due to for instance seasonal…
Two anonymous mobile agents navigate synchronously in an anonymous graph and have to meet at a node, using a deterministic algorithm. This is a symmetry breaking task called rendezvous, equivalent to the fundamental task of leader election…
The growth of Machine-Type Communication (MTC) increases the relevance of queuing scenarios with deterministic service times. In this letter, we present a model for queues without waiting lines and with degenerate service time distributions…
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…
We study a queueing system with Poisson arrivals on a bus line indexed by integers. The buses move at constant speed to the right and the time of service per customer getting on the bus is fixed. The customers arriving at station i wait for…
Using instantaneous aggregate arrival rate as an admission control parameter will contribute to either bandwidth under-utilization or over-utilization. Being bursty in nature and variable in rate, video flows might encode any rate between a…
We consider the problem of scheduling a queueing system in which many statistically identical servers cater to several classes of impatient customers. Service times and impatience clocks are exponential while arrival processes are renewal.…
In queueing systems, effective scheduling algorithms are essential for optimizing performance. Optimal scheduling for the M/G/k queue has been explored in the heavy traffic limit, but much remains unknown in the intermediate load regime. In…
Properties of arrival times are studied for a Cox process with independent (and stationary) increments. Under a reasonable setting the directing random measure is shown to take over independent (and stationary) increments of the process,…
The mean completion time of a stochastic process may be rendered finite and minimised by a judiciously chosen restart protocol, which may either be stochastic or deterministic. Here we study analytically an arbitrary stochastic search…
We say that a random variable is $light$-$tailed$ if moments of order $2+\epsilon$ are finite for some $\epsilon>0$; otherwise, we say that it is $heavy$-$tailed$. We study queueing networks that operate under the Max-Weight scheduling…
Distributed averaging of agent initial conditions is a well-studied problem in context of networked systems where coordination amongst the agents is of paramount importance. The asymptotic nature of convergence of distributed averaging…
