Abstract Whereas the buffer content of batch-service queueing systems has been studied extensively, the customer delay has only occasionally been studied. The few papers concerning the customer delay share the common feature that only the moments are calculated explicitly. In addition, none of these surveys consider models including the combination of batch arrivals and a server operating under...

background: identification of the effective factors in reducing response time in prehospital emergency medical service (ems) can assist in improving its services. this study aimed at reviewing the effect of applying global positioning system (gps) on response time of tehran ems ambulances. materials and methods: of 132 tehran ems stations, 24 ones were randomly selected, and relevant data, incl...

We propose a transformer building a silent self-stabilizing with service guarantee 1-hop clustering protocol T P of an input silent self-stabilizing 1-hop clustering protocol P. From an arbitrary configuration, T P reaches a safe configuration in at most 3 rounds, where the following useful minimal service is provided: “each node belongs to a 1-hop cluster having an effective leader”. During st...

This paper deals with the transient analysis of batch arrival retrial queueing system with general retrial times, priority service, balking, second optional service, Bernoulli vacation, extended vacation, breakdown, delayed repair and stand by server. Here we assume that customers arrive in batches according to compound Poisson processes, where the blocked customers either with probability p jo...
