In this paper, a bulk arrival general bulk service queueing model delayed service with restricted vacation policy, variant arrival rate and setup time is considered. The server starts the service only if at least ‘a’ customers are waiting in the queue, and renders the service according to the general bulk service rule with minimum of ‘a’ customers and maximum of ‘b’ customers, then the server w...

Motivated by applications in telephone call centers, we consider a service system model with m customer classes and r server pools. The model is one with doubly stochastic arrivals, which means that the m-vector λ of instantaneous arrival rates is allowed to vary both temporally and stochastically. Two levels of dynamic control are considered: customers may be either blocked or accepted at the ...

APPENDIX A: ELEMENTS OF QUEUEING THEORY In a packet radio network, packets/messages are forwarded from node to node through the network by entering a buffer (queue) of a certain length in each node and waiting for their turn to be transmitted to the next node. Also, call access to a network with a given capacity is modeled as a process with certain distribution of call arrival times and certain...

This paper studies two stochastic bulk arrival and bulk service queueing Models (A) and (B) with k varying environments. The system has infinite storing capacity and the arrival and service sizes are finite valued random variables. Matrix partitioning method is used to study the models. In Model (A) the maximum of the arrival sizes in all environments is greater than the maximum of the service ...

In the context of public transportation system, improving the service quality and robustness through minimizing the average passengers waiting time is a real challenge. This study provides robust stochastic programming models for train timetabling problem in urban rail transit systems. The objective is minimization of the weighted summation of the expected cost of passenger waiting time, its va...

This article presents a perishable (s; S) inventory system under continuous review at a service facility in which a waiting hall for customers is of nite size M. The arrival instants of customers to the service station constitutes a Poisson process. The life time of each items is assumed to be exponential. All arriving customers demand the rst "essential" service, whereas only some of them dema...

A basic calculus is presented for stochastic service guarantee analysis in communication networks. Central to the calculus are two definitions, maximum-(virtual)-backlog-centric (m.b.c) stochastic arrival curve and stochastic service curve, which respectively generalize arrival curve and service curve in the deterministic network calculus framework. With m.b.c stochastic arrival curve and stoch...

we consider an m/g/1 queue with regular and optional phase vacation and withstate dependent arrival rate. the vacation policy is after completion of service if there are no customers in the system, the server takes vacation consisting of k -phases, each phase is generally distributed. here the first phase is compulsory where as the other phases are optional. for this model the supplementary var...
