Performance analysis of a telephone system with both patient and impatient customers

In this paper, the performance of a telephone system in which there are both patient and impatient customers is studied. Depending on the waiting time in the buuer, a customer may become impatient and therefore the call is incomplete. A impatient customer still consumes real processing time. The impact of impatient customers on the system is much more remarkable than people would expect. We for...

Analysis of the Evolutionary Game Theory in Agent-Based Computational Systems: OPEC Oil-Producing Countries

This study suggests a new method for analysing the behavioral economics issues in the framework of game theory. In this context, bounded rational agents interact with one another in a strategic manner. Therefore, conventional economic modeling techniques are unable to explaine this kind of interactions. In this regard, evolutionary game theory and agent-based modeling are known as the most suit...

ANALYSIS OF A DISCRETE-TIME IMPATIENT CUSTOMER QUEUE WITH BERNOULLI-SCHEDULE VACATION INTERRUPTION

This paper investigates a discrete-time impatient customer queue with Bernoulli-schedule vacation interruption. The  vacation times and the service times during regular busy period and during working vacation period are assumed to follow geometric distribution. We obtain the steady-state probabilities at arbitrary and outside observer's observation epochs using recursive technique. Cost analysi...

Bat Algorithm for Optimal Service Parameters in an Impatient Customer N-Policy Vacation Queue

In this paper, a meta-heuristic method, the Bat Algorithm, based on the echolocation behavior of bats is used to determine the optimum service rate of a queue problem. A finite buffer M/M/1 queue with N policy, multiple working vacations and Bernoulli schedule vacation interruption is considered. Under the two customers' impatient situations, balking and reneging, the...

A Study on State Dependent Accessible and Second Optional Service Queue with Impatient and Feedback Customers

In this paper, we study a single server Markovian queue with state dependent accessible services, reneging and feedback of customers. The server can accommodate at the most $d$ customers in the service station, after which the new arrivals have to wait in the primary queue of infinite waiting space. All arrivals demand First Essential Service (FES), after completing FES, customers decide to joi...
