A unified cost function for M/G/1 queueing systems with removable server.

Jesús R. Artalejo (1992)

Trabajos de Investigación Operativa

This article deals with the three classic policies for an M/G/1 queueing system (N, T, and D-policy). The optimum policies were compared in several precedent studies, but the comparison was performed employing different cost functions, so that the D-policy is superior to the N-policy when the cost function is based on the mean work-load, whilst the average queue length is used to show the superiority of the N-policy over the T-policy. In order to achieve a comparison of the three policies under...

About the cumulative idle time in multiphase queues

Saulius Minkevičius, Stasys Steišūnas (2005)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

The paper is designated to the analysis of queueing systems, arising in the network theory and communications theory (called multiphase queueing systems, tandem queues or series of queueing systems). Also we note that multiphase queueing systems can be useful for modelling practical multi-stage service systems in a variety of disciplines, especially on manufacturing (assembly lines), computer networking (packet switch structures), and in telecommunications (e.g. cellular mobile networks), etc. This...

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

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 to the...
