We consider a variant of the two node tandem Jackson network where the upstream server reduces its service rate when the downstream queue exceeds some prespecified threshold. The...
Consider an M/G/c queue with homogeneous servers and service time distribution F. It is shown that an approximation of the service time distribution F by stochastically smaller di...
We consider Kelly networks with shuffling of customers within each queue. Specifically, each arrival, departure or movement of customer from one queue to another triggers a shuffl...
We consider a parallel server system that consists of several customer classes and server pools in parallel. We propose a simple robust control policy to minimize the total linear...
Abstract We provide an approximate analysis of the transient sojourn time for a processor sharing queue with time varying arrival and service rates, where the load can vary over ti...
