Allocating servers to facilities, when demand is elastic to travel and waiting times

Vladimir Marianov, Miguel Rios, Francisco Javier Barros (2005)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

Public inoculation centers are examples of facilities providing service to customers whose demand is elastic to travel and waiting time. That is, people will not travel too far, or stay in line for too long to obtain the service. The goal, when planning such services, is to maximize the demand they attract, by locating centers and staffing them so as to reduce customers’ travel time and time spent in queue. In the case of inoculation centers, the goal is to maximize the people that travel...

Transparent Scheduling of Composite Web Services

Dyachuk, Dmytro, Deters, Ralph (2007)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

Composite Web Services (CWS) aggregate multiple Web Services in one logical unit to accomplish a complex task (e.g. business process). This aggregation is achieved by defining a workflow that orchestrates the underlying Web Services in a manner consistent with the desired functionality. Since CWS can aggregate atomic and other CWS they foster the development of service layers and reuse of already existing functionality. An important issue in the deployment of services is their run-time...

Analysis of operating characteristics for the heterogeneous batch arrival queue with server startup and breakdowns

Jau-Chuan Ke, Kuo-Hsiung Wang (2003)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a like-queue production system in which server startup and breakdowns are possible. The server is turned on (i.e. begins startup) when N units are accumulated in the system and off when the system is empty. We model this system by an M [ x ] /M/1 queue with server breakdowns and startup time under the N policy. The arrival rate varies according to the server’s status: off, startup, busy, or breakdown. While the server is working, he is subject to breakdowns according...
