In this paper, we consider several discrete-time priority queues with priority jumps. In a priority scheduling scheme with priority jumps, real-time and non-real-time packets arri...
Abstract We consider the problem of coordinating the operations of two supply chain partners: a foreign shipping company and a domestic port. The two partners have conflicting busi...
Level-expanding quasi-birth-and-death (QBD) processes have been shown to be an efficient modeling tool for studying multi-dimensional systems, especially twodimensional ones. Comp...
A crucial property of second order fluid models is the behaviour of the fluid level at the boundaries. Two cases have been considered: the reflecting and the absorbing boundary. Th...

This paper provides a general framework for establishing the relation between various moments of matrix exponential and Markovian processes. Based on this framework we present an a...
: The growth in demand for semiconductors has been accompanied by intense competition between semiconductor manufacturers to satisfy customer on-time delivery needs. This paper is ...
: In this paper, a new predictive-reactive approach to a parallel machine scheduling problem in the presence of uncertain disruptions is presented. The approach developed is based ...
Abstract Column generation techniques have become a widely used technique to successfully solve large (integer) linear programs. One of the keys to obtaining a practically efficien...
