Analysis Of Unreliable Multi-Server Queueing System With Breakdowns Spread And Quarantine
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider an unreliable multi-server queue in which the rate of servers’ breakdowns increases when the number of broken servers grows. To prevent quick degradation of the system, it is proposed to switch to a quarantine regime when the number of broken servers exceeds some threshold and to maintain this regime until the number of broken servers becomes less than another threshold. During the quarantine, service of customers is stopped, new breakdowns do not arrive while the broken servers continue recovering. Under the fixed values of the thresholds, behavior of the system is described by the multi-dimensional continuous time Markov chain. The steady state distribution of the chain and the key performance measures of the system are computed as the functions of the thresholds. Possibility of the optimal choice of the thresholds providing the minimal value of an economical criterion is numerically illustrated.

Working Vacation Queue with Second Optional Service and Unreliable Server
An M/M/1 queueing system with second optional service and unreliable server is studied. We consider that the server works at different rate rather than being idle during the vacation period. The customers arrive to the system according to Poisson process with state dependent rates depending upon the server’s status. All customers demand the first essential service whereas only some of them dema...

This paper analyzes a discrete-time $Geo/Geo/c$ queueing system with multiple working vacations and reneging in which customers arrive according to a geometric process. As soon as the system gets empty, the servers go to a working vacations all together. The service times during regular busy period, working vacation period and vacation times are assumed to be geometrically distributed. Customer...
متن کاملAnalysis of unreliable bulk queue with statedependent arrivals
In this paper, we investigate a single-server Poisson input queueing model, wherein arrivals of units are in bulk. The arrival rate of the units is state dependent, and service time is arbitrary distributed. It is also assumed that the system is subject to breakdown, and the failed server immediately joins the repair facility which takes constant duration to repair the server. By using suppl...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Batch Arrival Single Service Queueing System with Unreliable Server and Single Vacation
Many authors have analyzed queueing systems with server breakdowns. Kendall (1953) studied stochastic processes occurring in the theory of queues and their analysis by the method of imbedded Markov chains. Buzacott and Hanifin (1978) classified the machine failures as operation dependent failures and time dependent failures. Shanthikumar (1982) analyzed a M/G/1 queueing system with time and ope...
متن کاملAnalysis of an M/G/1 Queue with Multiple Vacations, N-policy, Unreliable Service Station and Repair Facility Failures
This paper studies an M/G/1 repairable queueing system with multiple vacations and N-policy, in which the service station is subject to occasional random breakdowns. When the service station breaks down, it is repaired by a repair facility. Moreover, the repair facility may fail during the repair period of the service station. The failed repair facility resumes repair after completion of its re...
