Server optimization of infinite queueing systems
The problem of optimizing Markovian models with infinitely or finite but infeasible large state space is considered. In several practically interesting cases the state space of the model is finite and extremely large or infinite, and the transition and decision structures have some regular property which can be exploited for efficient analysis and optimization. Among the Markovian models with r...
متن کاملSingle Server Queueing Models for Communication Systems
One of the most important performance measures in the analysis of data networks is the average delay required to deliver a packet from origin to destination. The packet delay will aaect the choice and performance of several network algorithms such as routing and ow control. Queueing theory is the primary methodological framework for analyzing network delay. It provides a basis for adequate dela...
متن کاملElementary Markov Queueing Systems with Unreliable Server
In the queueing theory we usually ignore the fact that utility server is often a technical device and its breakdown can occur. Common analytic models (see for example in [1] or [2]) assume that the server works reliably without failures causing its deficit. If failures of the server occur often and we would use an analytic model of reliable queueing system for modeling studied system, reached o...
متن کاملOptimal server scheduling in nonpreemptive finite-population queueing systems
We consider a finite-population queueing system with heterogeneous classes of customers and a single server. For the case of nonpreemptive service, we fully characterize the structure of the server’s optimal service policy that minimizes the total average customer waiting costs. We show that the optimal service policy may never serve some classes of customers. For those classes that are served,...
متن کاملQueueing Analysis in Healthcare
Many organizations, such as banks, airlines, telecommunications companies, and police departments, routinely use queueing models to help determine capacity levels needed to respond to experienced demands in a timely fashion. Though queueing analysis has been used in hospitals and other healthcare settings, its use in this sector is not widespread. Yet, given the pervasiveness of delays in healt...
