Contrôle dynamique de flux dans un système d'attente avec panne

A. Haqiq, N. Mikou (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

We consider two parallel M/M/1 queues. The server at one of the queues is subject to intermittent breakdowns. By the theory of dynamic programming, we determine a threshold optimal policy which consists to transfer, when it is necessary, the customers that arrive at the first queue towards the second queue in order to minimize an instantaneous cost depending of the two queue lengths.

Machine Repair Problem in Production Systems with Spares and Server Vacations

Jau-Chuan Ke, Ssu-Lang Lee, Cheng-Hwai Liou (2009)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

This paper studies the machine repair problem consisting of operating machines with spare machines, and servers (repairmen) who leave for a vacation of random length when there are no failed machines queuing up for repair in the repair facility. At the end of the vacation the servers return to the repair facility and operate one of three vacation policies: single vacation, multiple vacation, and hybrid single/multiple vacation. The Markov process and the matrix-geometric approach...

Optimal control and performance analysis of an queue with batches of negative customers

Jesus R. Artalejo, Antonis Economou (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

We consider a Markov decision process for an queue that is controlled by batches of negative customers. More specifically, we derive conditions that imply threshold-type optimal policies, under either the total discounted cost criterion or the average cost criterion. The performance analysis of the model when it operates under a given threshold-type policy is also studied. We prove a stability condition and a complete stochastic comparison characterization for models operating under different...
