Classes of Service Under Perfect Competition

Competition in Service Industries with Segmented Markets

W develop a model for the competitive interactions in service industries where firms cater to multiple customer classes or market segments with the help of shared service facilities or processes so as to exploit pooling benefits. Different customer classes typically have distinct sensitivities to the price of service as well as the delays encountered. In such settings firms need to determine (i...

Multiple Internet Service Classes Revisited

It is debatable in the literature that whether the provision of multiple Internet service classes is economically viable. In this work a critical study is undertaken for a general model that considers a continuum of users using heterogeneous congestible service classes, under a class of general concave congestion functions and an arbitrary distribution of user preferences. We show that there is...

M1, M2, ..., Mk/G1, G2,..., Gk/l/N Queue with Buffer Division and Push-Out Schemes for ATM Networks (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this paper, loss probabilities and steady state probabilities of data packets for an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network are investigated under the buffer division and push-out schemes. Data packets are classified in classes k which arrive in Poisson fashion to the service facility and are served with general service rate under buffer division scheme, finite buffer space N is divided in...

Classes of service under competition and technological change: a model for the dynamics of the Internet?

ارزیابی قابلیت اطمینان تولید در بازار برق رقابتی کامل

Deregulation policy has caused some changes in the concepts of power system reliability assessment. This paper deals with generation reliability evaluation in perfect competition power market using market economic concepts and its dynamic. Also, because of power markets and generators’ forced outages stochastic behavior, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is used in this research. Generation reliabil...
