This paper examines the operating characteristics of an M/G/1 retrial queueing system under Bernoulli vacation schedule with setup times. The server renders first phase of essential service (FPS) to all the arriving units whereas second phase of multi-optional services (SPS) to only some of them who demand for the same. The server may breakdown according to Poisson process in working state i.e....

In this paper, we investigate a single server batch arrival non-Markovian retrial queueing model with random break down and Bernoulli vacation. Customers arrive in batches accordingly Poisson process with arrival rate λ but are served one by one with first come first served basis. All customers demand the first essential service, whereas only some of them demand the second optional service. The...

Abstract Here a two-state batch arrivals and batch service Markovian queue with server vacation model has been taken into consideration for its mathematical modelling and performance analysis under transient state. The present Markovian queueing model considers a single server with multiple vacations and both arrivals and services in batches of variable size. Arriving customers are processed by...

ABSTRACT We analyze a single server queue with modified Bernoulli server vacations based on exhaustive service. Unlike other vacation policies, we assume that only at the completion of service of the last customer in the system, the server has the option to take a vacation or to remain idle in the system waiting for the next customer to arrive. The service times of the customers have been assum...

This study adds to research on the beneficial effects of vacation to employees' well-being and on the fade-out of these effects. One hundred and thirty-one teachers completed questionnaires one time before and three times after vacationing. Results indicated that teachers' work engagement significantly increased and teachers' burnout significantly decreased after vacation. However, these benefi...

This article presents the analysis of a finite buffer M/M/1 queue with multiple and single working vacations. The arriving customers balk (that is do not join the queue) with a probability and renege (that is leave the queue after joining) according to exponential distribution. The inter-arrival times, service times during a regular service period, service times during a vacation period and vac...

We study a finite buffer N-policy GI/M(n)/1 queue with Bernoulli-schedule vacation interruption. The server works with a slower rate during vacation period. At a service completion epoch during working vacation, if there are at least N customers present in the queue, the server interrupts vacation and otherwise continues the vacation. Using the supplementary variable technique and recursive met...

We derive performance measures for burst arrival (e.g. messages of variable length packets) M / G / 1 queues with server vacations, controlled by the, so called, Randomly Timed Gated (RTG) protocol, operating as follows : Whenever the server returns from a ( general-type ) vacation and initiates a busy period, a Timer with random duration T is activated. If the server empties the queue before t...

We adapt the descendant set approach used in polling models to the continuous fluid model. This enables to establish the steady-state relationship on Laplace transform level among the joint distributions of the fluid level and the state of the modulating Markov chain at end of vacation and at start of vacation. The main results of the paper are the steady-state vector LT and mean of the fluid l...
