We study a system with unlimited service potential where all service requests are served in parallel. The entire system itself becomes unavailable for a random period of time at the first instance that the system becomes idle. A queue builds up while the system is unavailable, and then all waiting customers enter the system simultaneously-each to its own processor-when the system becomes availa...

The present investigation deals with performance analysis of single server preemptive priority retrial queue with immediate Bernoulli feedback. There are two types of customers are considered, which are priority customers and ordinary customers. The priority customers do not form any queue and have an exclusive preemptive priority to receive their services over ordinary customers. After complet...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the risk for various causes of posttrial death associated with vacation frequency during the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT). METHODS Middle-aged men at high risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) were recruited for the MRFIT. As part of the questionnaires administered during the first five annual visits, men were asked whe...

In this paper, it is studied about finite buffer bulk service queue M/G (a,b) /1 with multiple vacations and some analytical results, relations among queue length distributions, computations of state probabilities at various epochs are included.

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...
