ABSTRACT We analyze a single server queue with modified Bernoulli server vacations based on exhaustive service. Unlike other vacation policies, we assume that only at the completion of service of the last customer in the system, the server has the option to take a vacation or to remain idle in the system waiting for the next customer to arrive. The service times of the customers have been assum...

In this paper, we investigate an M/M/c queue with single working vacations of partial servers and setup times. During the vacation period, some of which servers are not entirely stop the service but service the new customers at a lower service rate, the other servers have a normal vacation and stop the service. Quasi-birth-and-death-process and infinitesimal generators for the process are obtai...

We study a many-server queueing model with server vacations, where the population size dynamics of servers and customers are coupled: may leave for vacation only when no await, capacity available to is directly affected by number on vacation. focus scaling regimes in which queue fluctuate at matching time scales so that their limiting coupled. Specifically, we argue interesting coupled occur (a...

A queueing system with batch Poisson arrivals and single vacations with the exhaustive service discipline is investigated. As the main result the representation for the Laplace transform of the transient queue-size distribution in the system which is empty before the opening is obtained. The approach consists of few stages. Firstly, some results for a “usual” system without vacations correspond...

Economizing and spending priorities on different types of vacations are investigated during two periods: an economic downturn and returning prosperity. Two nation-wide samples of vacationers are used: one during a downturn, the other one at the start of the recovery period. Through comparing the results, conclusions can be drawn about symmetric or asymmetric tourist demand across the business c...

A batch arrival single-server queueing system of a general type is considered. At the end of each busy period the server begins a multiple vacation period when the service process is stopped. A new approach to the study of departure process in such a system is proposed. Using the formula of total probability and renewal theory we direct the analysis to that in the system without vacations. An e...

This paper analyzes a renewal input  working vacations queue with change over times and Bernoulli schedulevacation interruption under (a,c,b) policy.The service and vacation times are exponentially distributed.The server begins service if there are at least c units in the queue and the service takes place in batches with a minimum of size a and a maximum of size b (a
