We consider a novel, analytical queuing model for vehicle coordination at signal-free intersections. Vehicles arrive at an intersection according to Poisson processes, and the crossing times are constants dependent of vehicle types. We use…
We study a G/GI/1 single-server queuing model with i.i.d.\ service times that are independent of a stationary process of inter-arrival times. We show that the distribution of the waiting time converges to a stationary law as time tends to…
In this paper we study the distribution of the level at time $\theta$ of Markovian fluid queues and Markovian continuous time random walks, the maximum (and minimum) level over $[0,\theta]$, and their joint distributions. We approximate…
Deriving the time-dependent expected reward function associated with a continuous-time Markov chain involves the computation of its transient deviation matrix. In this paper we focus on the special case of a finite quasi-birth-and-death…
We study a model of a polling system, that is, a collection of $d$ queues with a single server that switches from queue to queue. The service time distribution and arrival rates change randomly every time a queue is emptied. This model is…
We consider a single-server queue where interarrival and service times depend linearly and randomly on customer waiting times, and establish a sample-path moderate deviation principle (MDP) for the waiting time process. The waiting times…
Supermarket models are a class of parallel queueing networks with an adaptive control scheme that play a key role in the study of resource management of, such as, computer networks, manufacturing systems and transportation networks. When…
In order to obtain Markov heavy-traffic approximations for infinite-server queues with general non-exponential service-time distributions and general arrival processes, possibly with time-varying arrival rates, we establish heavy-traffic…
We consider a queueing facility where customers decide when to arrive. All customers have the same desired arrival time (w.l.o.g.\ time zero). There is one server, and the service times are independent and exponentially distributed. The…
In this paper, we consider queueing systems where the dynamics are non-stationary and state-dependent. For performance analysis of these systems, fluid and diffusion models have been typically used. Although they are proven to be…
We study the MAP/M/s+G queuing model with MAP (Markovian Arrival Process) arrivals, exponentially distributed service times, infinite waiting room, and generally distributed patience times. Using sample-path arguments, we propose to obtain…
This paper proposes a stochastic framework to evaluate the performance of public transit systems under short random service suspensions. We aim to derive closed-form formulations of the mean and variance of the queue length and waiting…
In an earlier paper, a randomized load balancing model was studied in a heavy traffic asymptotic regime where the load balancing stream is thin compared to the total arrival stream. It was shown that the limit is given by a system of…
Modern Internet services, such as those at Google, Yahoo!, and Amazon, handle billions of requests per day on clusters of thousands of computers. Because these services operate under strict performance requirements, a statistical…
Recently, Atar and Miyazawa [2] introduced a multi-level GI/G/1 queue with a finite number of levels, where both the arrival and service rates depend on the level corresponding to the current queue length. For this model, they proved that…
In this paper, we analyze a retrial queueing system with Batch Markovian Arrival Processes and two types of customers. The rate of individual repeated attempts from the orbit is modulated according to a Markov Modulated Poisson Process.…
We introduce and study a queue with the Erlang service system and whose arrivals are governed by a counting process in which there is a possibility of finitely many arrivals in an infinitesimal time interval. We call it the Erlang queue…
We study a double-ended queue where buyers and sellers arrive to conduct trades. When there is a pair of buyer and seller in the system, they immediately transact a trade and leave. Thus there cannot be non-zero number of buyers and sellers…
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…
This paper studies the diffusion limit for a network of infinite-server queues operating under Markov modulation (meaning that the system's parameters depend on an autonomously evolving background process). In previous papers on (primarily…
