Queueing Systems on a Circle [PDF]
ZOR Zeitschrift f�r Operations Research Methods and Models of Operations Research, 1993 Summary: Consider a ring on which customers arrive according to a Poisson process. Arriving customers drop somewhere on the circle and wait there for a server who travels on the ring. Whenever this server encounters a customer, he stops and serves the customer according to an arbitrary service time distribution.

Commissioning an Inexpensive Off‐The‐Shelf Spectrograph for Radial‐Velocity Studies
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We present a way to set up an inexpensive out of the shelf spectrograph at a local observatory. Stability and resolution of the spectrograph are high enough for radial velocity determination of binary stars or determination of stellar characteristics. Even some exoplanets might be detectable via the radial velocity method.

A discrete-time queueing system with feedback and optional service [PDF]
, 2016 Queueing systems constitute a central tool in modeling and performance analysis. These types of systems are in our everyday life activities, and the theory of queueing systems was developed to provide models for forecasting behaviors of systems subject

Flexible Queueing Architectures
, 2017 We study a multi-server model with $n$ flexible servers and $n$ queues, connected through a bipartite graph, where the level of flexibility is captured by the graph's average degree, $d_n$. Applications in content replication in data centers, skill-based

Service Work as Lived Experience: A Problematizing Review
Human Resource Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Between employee burnout and growing recruitment challenges, a systemic crisis confronts the service industry. One reason lies in the scope of received human resource management (HRM) approaches, which often emphasize organizational performance metrics at the expense of the emotional, social, and material experiences of doing frontline service

Beyond Truth‐Telling: A Replication Study on School Choice
Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In a recent paper, Fack et al. (2019, American Economic Review) convincingly argue and theoretically demonstrate that there may be strong incentives for students to play non‐truth‐telling strategies when reporting preferences over schools, even when the celebrated deferred acceptance algorithm is employed.
