Setting staffing requirements for time-dependent queueing networks: the case of accident and emergency departments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
An incentive scheme aimed at reducing patients’ waiting times in accident and emergency departments was introduced by the UK government in 2000. It requires 98% of patients to be discharged, transferred, or admitted to inpatient care within 4 hours of ...

Dynamic server allocation for unstable queueing networks with flexible servers

open access: yes, 2011
This paper is concerned with the dynamic assignment of servers to tasks in queueing networks where demand may exceed the capacity for service. The objective is to maximize the system throughput. We use fluid limit analysis to show that several quantities

Inference for double Pareto lognormal queues with applications [PDF]

open access: yes
In this article we describe a method for carrying out Bayesian inference for the double Pareto lognormal (dPlN) distribution which has recently been proposed as a model for heavy-tailed phenomena. We apply our approach to inference for the dPlN/M/1 and M/

Impatient Customers in Markovian Queue with Bernoulli Feedback and Waiting Server Under Variant Working Vacation Policy

open access: yesOperations Research and Decisions, 2020
This paper deals with customers' impatience behaviour for single server Markovian queueing system under K-variant working vacation policy, waiting server, Bernoulli feedback, balking, reneging, and retention of reneged customers.

Differential evolution to solve the lot size problem. [PDF]

open access: yes
An Advanced Resource Planning model is presented to support optimal lot size decisions for performance improvement of a production system in terms of either delivery time or setup related costs. Based on a queueing network, a model is developed for a mix

BAYESIAN CONTROL OF THE NUMBER OF SERVERS IN A GI/M/C QUEUING SYSTEM [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper we consider the problem of designing a GI/M/c queueing system. Given arrival and service data, our objective is to choose the optimal number of servers so as to minimize an expected cost function which depends on quantities, such as the ...

Robustness in queueing systems

open access: yes, 2014
We study the robustness of performance predictions of discrete- time finite-capacity queues by applying the framework of imprecise probabilities. More precisely, we consider the Geo/Geo/1/L model with probabilities of arrival and departure that are no longer fixed, but are allowed to vary within given intervals.

Modeling and simulation of a telephone call center

open access: yes, 2003
We consider a system with two types of traffic and two types of agents. Outbound calls are served only by blend agents, whereas inbound calls can be served by either inbound-only or blend agents.

QUEUEING DISCIPLINES BASED ON PRIORITY MATRIX [PDF]

open access: yesНаучно-технический вестник информационных технологий, механики и оптики, 2014
The paper deals with queueing disciplines for demands of general type in queueing systems with multivendor load. A priority matrix is proposed to be used for the purpose of mathematical description of such disciplines, which represents the priority ...
