Having the only choice to wait in line, I spent five hours at water tap in a long line under a hot sun, so that I can get water. When there is no water taps in a village, rivers is the only hope. What happens when rivers also dry at same time?

Waiting Lines with Heterogeneous Servers
Operations Research, 1960A “multiple-booth” server system with nonhomogeneous servers is analyzed under the assumption of Poisson distributed arrivals and exponential service time with different individual mean service rates for each server. Explicit expressions for the state probabilities are obtained in closed form under “steady-state” conditions and the expected length of ...

Waiting Lines and Waiting Times
2017This chapter seeks to determine if can we reduce the time it takes to deliver a public health or healthcare service, such as the long waiting times in emergency departments, long waiting lists for under-supported services such as drug rehabilitation, and vast periods of uncertainty for scarce commodities such as organ transplants.

Waiting lines in the endoscopy unit
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2000The efficient management of the endoscopy unit involves issues of scheduling. The aim of this study was to assess efficient use of an endoscopy unit and its relationship to patient waiting.Formulas of queueing theory are applied to patient scheduling in endoscopy.

Waiting-line auction for WiFi pricing
Proceedings of the 2008 ACM CoNEXT Conference on - CONEXT '08, 2008We model the relationship between a WLAN access point (AP) and a paying mobile station (MS) as a waiting-line auction [1] in which clients bids for transmission using the length of Contention Window (CW) as bid signals. The shorter CW is, the higher the access probability is, thus the higher pay to AP.

Waiting line or queuing systems are pervasive. Many of us remember the long lineups in front of stores in the Soviet Union and Vietnam, and we have all experienced lineups in banks and supermarkets, but there are many more instances with waiting lines: think, for instance, about traffic lights, where drivers line up and wait, files that wait for ...

Operations Research, 1957
One of the least understood classes of operations problems is that concerned with the design, loading, and, especially, the scheduling of discrete, statistically varying flows through complex networks. The present paper abstracts what is perhaps the simplest theoretical question related to this class of problems, and derives expressions for certain ...

Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication, 2013
One of the challenges of organizations providing services to the public is the effective resource allocation. Many service providers such as hospitals, city halls or department of motor vehicles suffer from a service demand, which is unevenly distributed over the day. In this work, we evaluate techniques for predicting the service demand.

Journal of College & University Foodservice, 1992
A model using wailing the principles was developed to assist with foodservice facilities design. The number of seals needed is calculated. Using values for area per seat previously published the size of the dining area can then be determined. The number of seats needed is dependent upon the meal patterns served, arrival rates of customers, turnover ...

The Impact of Waiting in Line on Consumers
International Journal of Bank Marketing, 1993Since consumers feel that time is becoming an increasingly scarcer resource, service organizations are also becoming increasingly sensitive to the economical and psychological costs which they impose on their clients in waiting lines. Reports a study aimed at examining the relations between two variables which are controllable by banks (i.e.
