Approximate analysis of non-stationary loss queues and networks of loss queues with general service time distributions [PDF]
A Fixed Point Approximation (FPA) method has recently been suggested for non-stationary analysis of loss queues and networks of loss queues with Exponential service times.

Time-dependent analysis of virtual waiting time behaviour in discrete time queues [PDF]
Discrete time queueing models have been shown previously to be of practical use for modelling the approximate time-dependent behaviour of queue length in systems of the form M(t)/G/c.

Appointment capacity planning in specialty clinics: a queueing approach [PDF]
Specialty clinics provide specialized care for patients referred by primary care physicians, emergency departments, or other specialists. Urgent patients must often be seen on the referral day, whereas nonurgent referrals are typically booked an ...

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

Tail asymptotics for processor sharing queues [PDF]
The basic queueing system considered in this paper is the M/G/1 processor-sharing queue with or without impatience and with finite or infinite capacity.

Interacting queues in heavy traffic [PDF]
We consider a system of parallel queues with Poisson arrivals and exponentially distributed service requirements. The various queues are coupled through their service rates, causing a complex dynamic interaction.

Departure processes from MAP/PH/1 queues [PDF]
A MAP/PH/1 queue is a queue having a Markov arrival process (MAP), and a single server with phase-type (PH -type) distributed service time. This thesis considers the departure process from these type of queues.

Tandem queues with deterministic service times [PDF]
In this paper we consider a tandem queueing model for a sequence of multiplexers at the edge of an ATM network. All queues of the tandem queueing model have unit service times.
