چکیده

We consider a queueing system with c servers and a threshold type vacation policy. In this system, when a certain number d<c of servers become idle at a service completion instant, these d servers will take a synchronous vacation of random length together. After each vacation, the number of customers in the system is checked. If that number is N or more, these d servers will resume serving the queue; otherwise, they will take another vacation together. Using the matrix analytical method, we obtain the stationary distribution of queue length and prove the conditional stochastic decomposition properties. Through numerical examples, we discuss the performance evaluation and optimization issues in such a vacation system with this (d,N) threshold policy. 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Multiple vacation policy for MX/Hk/1 queue with un-reliable server

This paper studies the operating characteristics of an MX/Hk/1 queueing system under multiple vacation policy. It is assumed that the server goes for vacation as soon as the system becomes empty. When he returns from a vacation and there is one or more customers waiting in the queue, he serves these customers until the system becomes empty again, otherwise goes for another vacation. The brea...

Optimality of a Threshold Policy in theM/M/ queue with repeated vacations

Consider an M/M/1 queueing system with server vacations where the server is turned oo as soon as the queue gets empty. We assume that the vacation durations form a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with exponential distribution. At the end of a vacation period, the server may either be turned on if the queue is non empty or take another vacation. The following costs are incurred: a holding co...

Vacation model for Markov machine repair problem with two heterogeneous unreliable servers and threshold recovery

Markov model of multi-component machining system comprising two unreliable heterogeneous servers and mixed type of standby support has been studied. The repair job of broken down machines is done on the basis of bi-level threshold policy for the activation of the servers. The server returns back to render repair job when the pre-specified workload of failed machines is build up. The first (seco...

Non zero - sum stochastic games in admission , serviceand routing control in queueing

The purpose of this paper is to investigate situations of non-cooperative dynamic control of queueing systems by two agents, having diierent objectives. The main part of the paper is devoted to analyzing a problem of an admission and a service (vacation) control. The admission controller has to decide whether to allow arrivals to occur. Once the queue empties, the server goes on vacation, and c...

Optimal dispatching control for elevator systems during uppeak traffic

In this paper we develop optimal dispatching controllers for elevator systems during uppeak traffic. An uppeak traffic period arises when the bulk of the passenger traffic is moving from the first floor up into the building (e.g., the start of a business day in an office building). The cars deliver the passengers and then return empty to the first floor to pick up more passengers. We show that ...
