We consider an MXI ell queueing system with N-policy and single vacation. As soon as the system becomes empty, the server leaves the system for a vacation of random length 11: When he returns from the vacation, if the system size is greater than or equal to a pretermined value N(threshold), he begins to serve the customers. If not, the server waits in the system until the system size reaches or...

The present paper deals with the problem of calculating queue length distributions in a polling model with (exhaustive) k-limited service under the assumption of general arrival, service and setup distributions. The interest for this model is fueled by an application in the field of logistics. Knowledge of the queue length distributions is needed to operate the system properly. The multi-queue ...

Although vacation from work provides a valuable opportunity for recovery, few studies have met the requirements for assessing its effects. These include taking measurements well ahead of the vacation, during the vacation and at several points in time afterwards. Our study on vacation (after ) effects focused on two related questions: (1) Do health and well being of working individuals improve d...

This paper considers a single-server retrial queue with constant retrial rate and batch arrivals, where an unreliable server may take an additional optional vacation after the first essential vacation. Customers arrive at the system according to a compound Poisson process, and they are served immediately if the server is available; otherwise, they will enter a retrial orbit and form a single wa...

AbstractIn this paper, a single server bulk service queuing system with interrupted vacation, request for Re-service and Balking is considered. At a service completion, if the server finds at least „a‟ customers waiting for service say ξ, he serves a batch of min (ξ ,b ) customers, whereb ≥ a. At the completion of an essential service, the leaving batch of customers may request for a re-service...

In this paper the information theoretic principle of Maximum Entropy (ME) is applied, as a method of inference, towards the study of the M/G/1 queueing model at equilibrium with either single or multiple server vacation periods under both exhaustive and non-exhaustive scheduling schemes. An analytic ME approximation for the characterisation of a universal form for the queue length distribution ...

We consider a batch arrival queueing system with three stage heterogeneous service provided by a single server with different (arbitrary) service time distributions. Each customer undergoes three stages of heterogeneous service. As soon as the completion of third stage of service, if the customer is dissatisfied with his service, he can immediately join the tail of the original queue. The vacat...

In this paper we analyze a single server queue with batch arrival Poisson input, two heterogeneous service with different general (arbitrary) service time distributions and two phase (compulsory and optional) server vacations with general (arbitrary) vacation period. The first phase of service is essential for all customers, as soon as the first service of a customer is completed, then with pro...

this paper investigates a discrete-time impatient customer queue with bernoulli-schedule vacation interruption. the  vacation times and the service times during regular busy period and during working vacation period are assumed to follow geometric distribution. we obtain the steady-state probabilities at arbitrary and outside observer's observation epochs using recursive technique. cost an...
