We propose a new queueing model named the acquisition queue. It differs from conventional queueing models in that the server not only serves customers, but also performs acquisition of new customers. The server has to divide its energy between both activities. The number of newly acquired customers is uncertain, and the effect of the server’s acquisition efforts can only be seen after some fixe...

To describe the congestion in large-scale service systems, we introduce and analyze a non-Markovian open network of many-server fluid queues with customer abandonment, proportional routing and time-varying model elements. A proportion of the fluid completing service at each queue is routed immediately to each other queue, while the fluid not routed to other queues leaves the network. The fluid ...

We propose a generalization of the classical M/M/1 queue process. The resulting model is derived by applying fractional derivative operators to a system of difference-differential equations. This generalization includes both non-Markovian and Markovian properties which naturally provide greater flexibility in modeling real queue systems than its classical counterpart. Algorithms to simulate M/M...

With the number increment of mobile computing equipment, the invalidation of equipment and broadcasting information because of wireless bandwidth, communication quality and too long scheduling queue that badly influence the system computing performance. Mobile cache is a good technology to solute this difficult problem. Considering the priority problem of broadcasting queue generated by data in...
