Expected slowdown has been proposed as a criterion to evaluate queue fairness. In this work we examine how the constant slowdown principle can be used as a basis for a queueing fa...
We consider a single server Markovian queue with setup times. Whenever this system becomes empty, the server is turned off. Whenever a customer arrives to an empty system, the ser...
Consider a system (e.g. a computer farm or a call center) operating as a M/M/c queue, where c = 1, or 1 < c < ∞, or c = ∞. The system as a whole suffers disastrous break...
We consider a general QBD process as defining a FIFO queue and obtain the stationary distribution of the sojourn time of a customer in that queue as a matrix exponential distribut...
Abstract. Time dependent behavior has an impact on the performance of telecommunication models. Examples include: staffing a call center, pricing the inventory of private line serv...
