On the Growth of the Maximum Queue Length in a Stable Queue

Operations Research, 1971
Even for a stable one-server queue with relative traffic intensity less than unity, the maximum queue length observed will tend to infinity in probability as the length of time for which the system has been observed becomes large. It is important to have information on the behavior of the maximum queue length to enable estimation of the congestion ...

Terror Queues

Operations Research, 2010
This article presents the first models developed specifically for understanding the infiltration and interdiction of ongoing terror plots by undercover intelligence agents, and does so via novel application of ideas from queueing theory and Markov population processes.

ACM Queue

Computers in Entertainment, 2003
I am the Editor of Queue (http://www.acmqueue.org), ACM's recently launched magazine geared towards practicing software developers and architects. We have a great editorial advisory board, including industry giants such as Steve Bourne, Eric Allman, and Jim Gray.We have a special report on "Gaming Technology and Issues" coming up.

Inside the queue: [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Urban Economics, 2003
This paper develops a continuous-time -continuous-place economic model of road trafficcongestion with a bottleneck, based on car-following theory. The model integrates twoarchetype congestion technologies used in the economics literature: 'static flow congestion',originating in the works of Pigou, and 'dynamic bottleneck congestion', pioneered ...

Pricing and queueing

ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review, 2012
We consider a pricing in a single observable queue, where customers all have the same valuation, V , and the same waiting cost, v. It is known that earning rate is maximized in such a model when state-dependent pricing is used and an admissions threshold is deployed whereby arriving customers may not join the queue if the total number of customers ...

Cascades of queues

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2006
This paper presents results from a bulk service queueing system, where the main service takes place at fixed time intervals, but where back-up (or relief) services may be introduced in times of heavy demand on the system. On occasions the back-up service itself may receive further back-up services, thus leading to the concept of a cascade of queues ...

Signaled Queueing

International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2015
Burstiness in queues where customers arrive independently leads to rush periods when wait times are long. We propose a simple signaling scheme to decrease wait times by distributing customer arrivals more uniformly. Agents receive one of several signals with suggestions on what time to join the queue. We quantify the efficiency gains, both analytically

Spatial Queues

2000
In the present thesis, a theoretical framework for the analysis of spatial queues is developed. Spatial queues are a generalization of the classical concept of queues as they provide the possibility of assigning properties to the users. These properties may influence the queueing process, but may also be of interest for themselves.

Queueing theory

Proceedings of the ACM '81 conference on - ACM 81, 1981
Queueing theory has become an important subject to computer scientists because it forms the mathematical basis for research in computer system performance evaluation. (See, for example, the Special Issue, September 1978, of Computer Surveys on “Queueing Network Models of Computer System Performance,” and the recent conference on “Applied Probability ...
