We consider the Courier Delivery Problem, a variant of the Vehicle Routing Problem with time windows in which customers appear probabilistically and their service times are uncert...
For the M/D/1 processor sharing queue, explicit formulas for the coefficient of variation of the sojourn time conditioned on the service time and on the residual service times of ...
This paper considers an infinite-server queue with multiple batch Markovian arrival streams. The service time distribution of customers may be different for different arrival strea...
In this paper we study a single-server queue where the inter-arrival times and the service times depend on a common discrete time Markov Chain. This model generalizes the well-kno...
We analyze the service times of customers in a stable M/M/1 queue in equilibrium depending on their position in a busy period. We give the law of the service of a customer at the b...
In this paper, we analyze a discrete-time preemptive resume priority queue. We consider two classes of customers which have to be served, where customers of one class have preempt...
In this paper we present algorithms for identifying interesting subsets of a given database of records. In many real life applications, it is important to automatically discover s...
Temporal locality in workloads creates conditions in which a server, in order to remain available, should quickly process bursts of requests with large service requirements. In th...
In this paper we consider a multi-server queue with a near general arrival process (represented as an arbitrary state-dependent Coxian distribution), a near general state-dependent...
—It has been observed in recent years that in many applications service time demands are highly variable. Without foreknowledge of exact service times of individual jobs, process...
