Queues with Workload-Dependent Arrival and Service Rates

We consider two types of queues with workload-dependent arrival rate and service speed. Our study is motivated by queueing scenarios where the arrival rate and/or speed of the server depends on the amount of work present, like production systems and the ...
Mt/G/∞ Queues with Sinusoidal Arrival Rates

In this paper we describe the mean number of busy servers as a function of time in an M_t/G/∞ queue having a nonhomogeneous Poisson arrival process with a sinusoidal arrival rate function. For an M_t/G/∞ model with appropriate initial conditions, it is ...
Retrial queuing system with Markovian arrival flow and phase-type service time distribution

We consider a multi-server queuing system with retrial customers to model a call center. The flow of customers is described by a Markovian arrival process (MAP). The servers are identical and independent of each other. A customer's service time has a ...
