2012 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory Proceedings, 2012 A supermarket game is considered with N FCFS queues with unit exponential service rate and global Poisson arrival rate Nλ. Upon arrival each customer chooses a number of queues to be sampled uniformly at random and joins the least loaded sampled queue.

The EMBO Reports, 2013 Recently I witnessed an elderly lady in my local supermarket, fighting back the tears while her husband looked on blankly. The cause of her distress was and remains totally unknown to me. Maybe the couple had had a trivial argument over what brand of yoghurt to buy.

BAR - Brazilian Administration Review, 2007 Loyalty has been a hot topic in marketing management, not only for academics, but also for managers. In that sense, the main goal of this paper is to identify the variables that discriminate loyalty groups. Therefore, seven hypotheses have been proposed which might have an impact on loyalty groups.

Review of Economic Studies, 2004 Summary: Multi-store firms are common in the retailing industry. Theory suggests that cross-elasticities between stores of the same firm enhance market power. To evaluate the importance of this effect in the U.K. supermarket industry, we estimate a model of consumer choice and expenditure using three data sources: profit margins for each chain, a ...

As part of this effort, some banks are opening 'supermarket,' or 'in-store,' branches: a new type of banking office within a large retail outlet.

Supermarket model on graphs [PDF]
The Annals of Applied Probability, 2019 We consider a variation of the supermarket model in which the servers can communicate with their neighbors and where the neighborhood relationships are described in terms of a suitable graph. Tasks with unit-exponential service time distributions arrive at each vertex as independent Poisson processes with rate $λ$, and each task is irrevocably assigned

, 2010 Welcome customers to Supermarketism. Supermarketism is a body of sculptural work that started in 2005 and now in 2010 continues not only as a relatively short-term research project but also as a body of work that will continue well into the future. Much of the aesthetic and conceptual explorations made in the five years of this research will be re ...
