چکیده

Most existing organizational design processes focus on either the qualitative or domain-independent features of candidate designs. This paper demonstrates the significance of domain-specific features through an examination of an organizationally-driven information retrieval network. The behavior of a search process for appropriate agents and the consequences of hierarchical control in a continuous work flow are described. A model capable of predicting these and other characteristics is then created using techniques from queuing and probability theory. This model can then be used to guide the search for an appropriate design.

Applying queuing theory for a reliable integrated location –inventory problem under facility disruption risks

This study considers a reliable location – inventory problem for a supply chain system comprising one supplier, multiple distribution centers (DCs), and multiple retailers in which we determine DCs location, inventory replenishment decisions and assignment retailers to DCs, simultaneously. Each DC is managed through a continuous review (S, Q) inventory policy. For tackling real world conditions...

MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF A DISCRETE-TIME PRIORITY QUEUING COMPUTER NETWORK WITH PRIORITY JUMPS USING PROBABILITY GENERATING FUNCTIONS

Priority queues have a great importance in the study of computer communication networks in which different types of traffic require different quality of service standards. The discrete-time non-preemptive priority queuing model with priority jumps is proposed in this paper. On the basis of probability generating functions mean system contents and mean queuing delay characteristics are obtained....

Efficient Graduate Employment Serving System based on Queuing Theory

The mathematical model of an two-phases-service M/M/1/N queuing system with the server breakdown and multiple vacations was realized and established in the Graduate Employment Services system. Secondly, equations of steady-state probability were derived by applying the Markov process theory. Then, we obtained matrix form solution of steady-state probability by using blocked matrix method. Final...

Second Moment of Queue Size with Stationary Arrival Processes and Arbitrary Queue Discipline

In this paper we consider a queuing system in which the service times of customers are independent and identically distributed random variables, the arrival process is stationary and has the property of orderliness, and the queue discipline is arbitrary. For this queuing system we obtain the steady state second moment of the queue size in terms of the stationary waiting time distribution of a s...
