For capacity planning issues in health care, such as the allocation of hospital beds, the admissions rate of patients is commonly assumed to be constant over time. In addition to ...
We consider systems of tandem blocking queues having a common retrial queue. The model represents dynamics of short TCP transfers in the Internet. Analytical results are available...
User-controlled circuit-switched optical networks are gaining popularity in an effort to fulfill the insatiable data transport needs of the online community. In this paper we cons...
Abstract--Wireless infrastructures can be conveniently categorized into two types: those that provide point-to-point `unicast' connectivity (e.g., cellular) and others that ar...
