On a queueing model with service interruptions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single-server queues in which the server takes vacations arise naturally as models for a wide range of computer, communication and production systems. In almost all studies on vacation models, the vacation lengths are assumed to be independent of the arrival, service, workload and queue length processes. In the present study we allow the length of a vacation to depend on the length of the previous active period, viz., the period since the previous vacation. Under rather general assumptions regarding the offered work during active periods and vacations, we determine the steady-state workload distribution, both for single and multiple vacations. We conclude by discussing several special cases including polling models, and relate our findings to results obtained earlier.

Waiting time approximation in multi-class queueing systems with multiple types of class-dependent interruptions
We consider a single-server queue subject to multiple types of operation-independent and class-dependent interruptions motivated by operations and vessel queueing at entrances of waterways. A case in point is the Istanbul Strait. We are using waiting-time arguments and service completion time analysis to obtain the expected waiting time of a customer (vessel) in the aforementioned queue with tw...
متن کاملAnalysis of M/G/ 1 queueing model with state dependent arrival and vacation
This investigation deals with single server queueing system wherein the arrival of the units follow Poisson process with varying arrival rates in different states and the service time of the units is arbitrary (general) distributed. The server may take a vacation of a fixed duration or may continue to be available in the system for next service. Using the probability argument, we construct the ...
متن کاملA matrix-geometric analysis of queueing systems with periodic service interruptions
In this paper, two queueing models with periodic (cyclic) service interruptions are studied, one in discrete time and one in continuous time. For both models, the matrix-geometric approach is used to obtain the equilibrium distribution of the number of customers in the system. From this equilibrium distribution, one can compute the stationary sojourn time distribution and study the effects of i...
متن کاملModeling Traffic Flow Interrupted by Incidents using Queueing Models
A steady-state M/M/C queueing system under batch service interruptions is introduced to model the traffic flow on a roadway link subject to incidents. When a traffic incident happens, either all lanes or part of a lane is closed to the traffic. As such, we model these interruptions either as complete service disruptions where none of the servers work or partial failures where servers work at a ...

متن کاملStability analysis of multiserver discrete-time queueing systems with renewal-type server interruptions
For many queueing systems the server is not continuously available. Service interruptions may result from repair times after server failures, from planned maintenance periods or from periods during which customers from other queues are being served. These service interruptions cause an overall performance degradation which is most striking when interruptions can start while a customer is being ...
