A Model of Queue Scalping

Management Science, 2021
Recent years have witnessed the rise of queue scalping in congestion-prone service systems. A queue scalper has no material interest in the primary service but proactively enters the queue in hopes of selling his spot later. This paper develops a queueing-game-theoretic model of queue scalping and generates the following insights.

Drum queueing model

Proceedings of the May 18-20, 1971, spring joint computer conference on - AFIPS '71 (Spring), 1971
This paper deals with the analysis of queues at drums in a computer system. For this analysis the computer system may be viewed as being composed of two units; (1) central processing unit and (2) the auxiliary storage devices (drum subsystem). Requests for the drum subsystem originate from the central processing unit (CPU).

A queueing model for crowdsourcing

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2017
Crowdsourcing is getting popular after a number of industries such as food, consumer products, hotels, electronics, and other large retailers bought into this idea of serving customers. In this paper, we introduce a multi-server queueing model in the context of crowdsourcing.

A Model of Rational Retrials in Queues

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014
Customers often wait in queues before being served. Because waiting is undesirable, customers may come back later (i.e., retry) when the queue is too long. However, retrial attempts can be costly as a result of transportation fees and service delays. This paper introduces a framework for rational retrial decisions in stationary queues.

The Longer Queue Model

Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences, 1989
Two queues forming two independent Poisson processes are served by one server with exponential service time. The server always works on the longer queue and, in case that they are of equal length, chooses either one with probability ½. Let πij be the probability that the two queue lengths equal i andj at equilibrium and π(z, w) = ∑πi j Ziwj.

MODELING TRAFFIC FLOWS WITH QUEUEING MODELS: A REVIEW [PDF]

open access: possibleAsia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research, 2007
In this paper, an overview of different analytic queueing models for traffic on road networks is presented. In the literature, it has been shown that queueing models can be used to adequately model uninterrupted traffic flows. This paper gives a broad review on this literature. Moreover, it is shown that the developed published methodologies (which are

Analytical Queueing Models

Computer, 1980
Increased use of analytical performance models can be attributed, in part, to a very simple fact: they work.

Modeling Security-Check Queues

Management Science, 2011
Motivated by the waiting lines between the U.S.–Canadian border crossings, we investigate a security-check system with both security and customer service goals. In such a system, every customer has to be inspected by the first-stage inspector, but only a proportion of customers need to go through the second stage for further inspection.
