Dyanamics of Social Queues

چکیده
Queues formed by social wasps to inherit the dominant position in the nest are analyzed by using a transient quasi-birth-and-death (QBD) process. We show that the extended nest life time due to division of labor between queen and helpers has a big impact for the nest productivity.

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 کاملA STUDY OF OPTIMAL DIMENSIONING OF QUEUES WITH RESPECT TO SOCIAL AND INDIVIDUAL PROFIT
In this paper, a system of GIG/l/K queue is considered. The optimal system's capacity (K), when the system is optimized with respect to the benefit of the entire system (social optimization) and when the criterion for optimality is individual gains (individual optimization), is determined and compared. In social optimization, the system capacity is obtained through maximization of the syst...
متن کاملA Mathematical Analysis on Linkage of a Network of Queues with Two Machines in a Flow Shop including Transportation Time
This paper represents linkage network of queues consisting of biserial and parallel servers linked to a common server in series with a flowshop scheduling system consisting of two machines. The significant transportation time of the jobs from one machine to another is also considered. Further, the completion time of jobs/customers (waiting time + service time) in the queue network is the set...
