Determining and selecting an appropriate location to construct a hotel is one of the most challenging concerns which hotel industry investors are facing with. In this study we attempt to find a suitable response to this research/application need by a mathematical model using the queueing theory and the fuzzy logic. Therefore hotel, the reception system and travelers accommodations are formulate...

There exist various service systems that have hierarchical structure. In hierarchical service networks, facilities at different levels provide different types of services. For example, in health care systems, general centers provide low-level services such as primary health care services, while the specialized hospitals provide high-level services. Because of demand congestion in service networ...

The aim of this paper is to provide a more realistic description of priority-discipline queueing models by using Fuzzy Set Theory. It develops and optimizes two fuzzy queueing models with priority-discipline, a model with nonpreemptive priorities system and a model with preemptive priorities system, denoted by M̃i /M̃i /1 and M̃i /Fi /1. The first symbol is for a queueing system where arrivals and...

Equipping hospital beds uses a great deal of a hospital''''s resources. Therefore, it is essential to consider the hospital beds'''' efficiency. To increase its efficiency, a fuzzy unrestricted model for managing hospital expenses is presented in this paper. The lack of beds in hospitals leads to patients’ admission loss and consecutively profit loss. On the other hand, increasing the bed count...

In hierarchical service networks, facilities at di erent levels provide di erent types of service. For example, in health care systems, general centers provide low-level services, such as primary health care, while specialized hospitals provide high-level services. Because of the demand congestion at service networks, the location of servers and their allocation of demand nodes can have a stron...

-This paper proposes a procedure to construct the membership functions of the performance measures in queueing systems where the interarrival time and service time are Fuzzy numbers. We propose a Fuzzy nature in FM/FM/1 queueing system with finite capacity and calling population are infinite. Approximate method of extension namely DSW(Dong, Shah & Wong) algorithm is used to define membership fu...

The rapid penetration of electric vehicles may lead to peak problems in a traditional grid so that some of the smart grid research is focused on charging strategies for electric vehicles. The charging problem is suitable for using a queue structure, and fuzzy queueing can be implemented for this purpose. This paper presents a fuzzy queueing based model, which can also control the power demand o...
