To reduce water traffic accident, identification of overloaded ships has been of major importance for enforcing inland river management, especially in some developing countries. Driven by rising oil prices or other economic benefits, the ship overload phenomenon continued to occur in China. Therefore, overloaded ship detection has been of a key factor of shipping safety. This paper presented a ...

Maximizing throughput for heterogeneous parallel server queues has received quite a bit of attention from the research community and the stability region for such systems is well understood. However, many real-world systems have periods where they are temporarily overloaded. Under such scenarios, the unstable queues often starve limited resources. This work examines what happens during periods ...

In this short note we present a minimal system to deal with overloaded functions with late binding, in which λ-abstractions are seen as a special case of overloaded functions with just one code. We prove some relevant properties that this system enjoys, and show its connection with the λ&-calculus. We end by showing the practical interest of this system, in particular in modeling object-oriente...

In this paper, we survey results for the GI/GI/N + GI queueing model. Our focus is on finding situations in which simple performance measure approximations can be developed. To do this, we study the behavior of the GI/GI/N + GI queue in the conventional heavy traffic and Halfin-Whitt limit regimes, and we also discuss the overloaded regime in which there is a single server as well as the overlo...
