Queues with Working Vacations: A Survey
MathematicsIn this paper, we present an extensive literature review on queueing systems with working vacations. The concept of a working vacation generalises the concept of server vacations, which are time periods during which the server is absent and cannot serve ...

Healthcare queueing models. [PDF]
Healthcare systems differ intrinsically from manufacturing systems. As such, they require a distinct modeling approach. In this article, we show how to construct a queueing model of a general class of healthcare systems.

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Autologous cell therapy (AuCT) manufacturing networks must balance two competing objectives: reducing cost and improving patient access to time‐sensitive therapy. This study compares three AuCT manufacturing network designs: a centralized network with a single manufacturing facility, a coordinated point‐of‐care (POC) network in which POCs can ...

Approximating multiple class queueing models with loss models [PDF]
Multiple class queueing models arise in situations where some flexibility is sought through pooling of demands for different services. Earlier research has shown that most of the benefits of flexibility can be obtained with only a small proportion of ...

Fueling Tomorrow: Scenario Planning for the Future of Gas Stations
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Transport electrification is reshaping the service infrastructures that mediate everyday mobility, yet most electrification scenario studies remain macrolevel and offer limited insight into how incumbent forecourt (gas‐station) networks can adapt under deep uncertainty.

APPROXIMATION OF PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS IN QUEUEING MODELS [PDF]
Научно-технический вестник информационных технологий, механики и оптики, 2013 For probability distributions with variation coefficient, not equal to unity, mathematical dependences for approximating distributions on the basis of first two moments are derived by making use of multi exponential distributions.
