In this paper we present the analysis of the BMAP/GI/1 phase dependent vacation model with decrementing-K service discipline. The exhaustive discipline is a special case of the decrementing-K discipline, where K = ∞. The generalization of the service discipline independent expressions of the vacation model [7] for phase dependent vacation enables the treatment of the BMAP/GI/1 queue as special ...

In this paper we present the analysis of BMAP/G/1 vacation models of non-M/G/1-type in a general framework. We provide new service discipline independent formulas for the vector generating function (GF) of the stationary number of customers and for its mean, both in terms of quantities at the start of vacation. We present new results for vacation models with gated and G-limited disciplines. For...

There are many practical situations that have both features of customer retrials and server vacations. The vacation policy is characterized by the vacation startup rules and vacation termination rules. The queueing system with retrials and vacations has been described in variety of ways according to the vacation rules and retrial policies such as constant retrial policy and linear retrial polic...

Abstract: We study the Nash equilibrium behavior of customers in a discrete-time single-server queue under multiple vacation policy or single vacation policy. Every arriving customer either joins the queue or balks based on his or her service utility. Using a Quasi-Birth-Death Processes (QBD) model, we obtain the stationary distribution of the queue length via the Matrix-Geometric Solution meth...

The goal of this paper is to establish a general approach for analyzing queueing models with repeated inhomogeneous vacations. The server goes on for a vacation if the inactivity prolongs more than the vacation trigger duration. Once the system enters in vacation mode, it may continue for several consecutive vacations. At the end of a vacation, the server goes on another vacation, possibly with...

Stress in the work place has a detrimental effect on people's health. Sufficient recovery is necessary to counteract severe chronic negative load reactions. Previous research has shown that vacationing for at least seven consecutive days provided an efficient recovery strategy. Yet, thus far, the effects of short vacations and the mode of vacation (whether at home or in a new environment) have ...

We consider a M/G/1 queue where the server may take repeated vacations. Whenever a busy period terminates the server takes a vacation of random duration. At the end of each vacation the server may either take a new vacation or resume service; if the queue is found empty the server always takes a new vacation. The cost structure includes a holding cost per unit of time and per customer in the sy...

this paper analyzes an m/m/2 queueing system with two heterogeneous servers. both servers goes on vacation when there is no customers waiting for service after this server 1 is always available but the other goes on vacation whenever server 2 is idle. the vacationing server however, returns to serve at a low rate as an arrival finds the other server busy. the system is analyzed in the steady st...

task graph scheduling is a multi-objective optimization and np-hard problem. in this paper a new algorithm on homogeneous multiprocessors systems is proposed. basically, scheduling algorithms are targeted to balance the two parameters of time and energy consumption. these two parameters are up to a certain limit in contrast with each other and improvement of one causes reduction in the other on...
