SOME GENERALIZATIONS OF WEAK CONVERGENCE RESULTS ON MULTIPLE CHANNEL QUEUES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.
This paper extends certain results of Iglehart and Whitt on multiple channel queues to the case where the inter-arrival times and service times are not necessarily identically distributed. It is shown that the weak convergence results in this case are exactly the same as those obtained by Iglehart and Whitt
متن کاملLongest Path in Networks of Queues in the Steady-State
Due to the importance of longest path analysis in networks of queues, we develop an analytical method for computing the steady-state distribution function of longest path in acyclic networks of queues. We assume the network consists of a number of queuing systems and each one has either one or infinite servers. The distribution function of service time is assumed to be exponential or Erlang. Fu...
متن کاملPolling systems with a gated/exhaustive discipline
We consider a polling system where the server cyclically serves the queues according to the following discipline: the server does one round of visits to the queues applying the gated service discipline at each of the queues, followed by one round of visits applying the exhaustive service discipline at each of the queues, and this alternating pattern repeats itself. We call this the Gated/Exhaus...
متن کاملA Unifying Conservation Law for Single-server Queues
We develop a conservation law for a multi-class GI/GI/1 queue operating under a general work-conserving scheduling discipline. For single-class single-server queues, conservation laws have been obtained for both nonanticipating and anticipating disciplines with general service time distributions. For multi-class single-server queues, conservation laws have been obtained for (i) nonanticipating ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Proof of the Interchangeability Of
Given a .finite number of empty ./M/1 queues, let customers arrive according to an arbitrary arrival process and be served at each queue exactly once, in some fixed order. The process of departing customers from the network has the same law, whatever the order in which the queues are visited. This remarkable result, due to R. Weber [4], is given a simple probabilistic proof.
متن کاملRenewal Theorems in the Problems of Queues "
"THE BEHA VIOR OF QUEUES is strongly affected by the distribution -of successive arrival times of customers as well as customer servicing times. In classical theory of queues, it used to be assumed that each distribution depends on exponential law, in which case the mathematical treatment is the easiest. For instance we can find the probability of queue lengths at counters in an ergodic case (o...
