Stability of multi-server polling system with server limits

Stability of multi-server polling system with server limits

We consider a multi-server polling system with server limits, that is the number of servers that can attend a queue simultaneously is limited. Stability conditions are available when service policies are unlimited. The definition of stability conditions when both server limits and limited service policies apply remains an open problem. We postulate a conjecture for the stability condition in th...

Discrete Time Analysis of Multi-Server Queueing System with Multiple Working Vacations and Reneging of Customers‎

This paper analyzes a discrete-time $Geo/Geo/c$ queueing system with multiple working vacations and reneging in which customers arrive according to a geometric process. As soon as the system gets empty, the servers go to a working vacations all together. The service times during regular busy period, working vacation period and vacation times are assumed to be geometrically distributed. Customer...

Controllable Multi-Server Queue with Balking (TECHNICAL NOTE)

A polling model with an autonomous server

Polling models are used as an analytical performance tool in several application areas. In these models, the focus often is on controlling the operation of the server as to optimize some performance measure. For several applications, controlling the server is not an issue as the server moves independently in the system. We present the analysis for such a polling model with a so-called autonomou...

Fault tolerant system with imperfect coverage, reboot and server vacation

This study is concerned with the performance modeling of a fault tolerant system consisting of operating units supported by a combination of warm and cold spares. The on-line as well as warm standby units are subject to failures and are send for the repair to a repair facility having single repairman which is prone to failure. If the failed unit is not detected, the system enters into an unsafe...
