Distributed Services with Foreseen and Unforeseen Tasks : The Mobile Re-Allocation Problem

Larco, Jose Antonio - 2012

In this paper we deal with a common problem found in the operations of security and preventive/corrective maintenance services: that of routing a number of mobile resources to serve foreseen and unforeseen tasks during a shift. We define the (Mobile Re-Allocation Problem) MRAP as the problem of...

Accuracy of Fluid Approximations for Queueing Systems with Congestion-Sensitive Demand and Implications for Capacity Sizing

Randhawa, Ramandeep S. - 2012

We study the accuracy of fluid approximations in single- and many-server queueing systems in which the arrival rate depends on the congestion in the system. If the potential demand rate exceeds the system's capacity, the fluid approximations are found to exhibit O(1)-accuracy --- their error...

Measuring the Effect of Queues on Customer Purchases

Lu, Yina; Musalem, Andrés; Olivares, Marcelo; … - 2012

We conduct an empirical study to analyze how waiting in queue in the context of a retail store affects customers’ purchasing behavior. Our methodology combines a novel dataset with periodic information about the queuing system (collected via video recognition technology) with point-of-sales...

On the Invariance Result of Net Neutrality

Kim, Jeong-Yoo - In: Review of Network Economics 20 (2021) 3, pp. 139-157

Abstract In an influential paper, Choi and Kim (2010) established the invariance result that given a fixed network capacity, the average waiting times are identical regardless of net neutrality. In this paper, we argue that their result relies on the assumption that the distribution for content...

Green supply chain management using the queuing theory to handle congestion and reduce energy consumption and emissions from supply chain transportation fleet

Aziziankohan, Arvin; Jolai, Fariborz; Khalilzadeh, Mohammad - In: Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management (JIEM) 10 (2017) 2, pp. 213-236

green supply chain is examined by using queuing theory and transportation models. Data was generated and solved by a … specified capacity, and using queueing theory in a closed-loop network to reduce the queue length and handle congestion, can … benefits. This article investigates the effect of queuing theory on reducing waiting time, optimizing energy consumption in …

Why Is Unemployment Duration a Sorting Criterion in Hiring?

Van Belle, Eva; Caers, Ralf; De Couck, Marijke; Di … - 2017

mechanisms often related to the scarring effect of unemployment: general signalling theory, (perceived) skill loss, queuing … theory, and rational herding. We use the resulting data to estimate a multiple mediation model, in which the effect of the …

Simulation of Single-Server Queuing System with Reverse Balking

Som, Bhupender; Gupta, Megha - 2017

Jain et. al. (2014) proposed a single-server finite capacity queuing system with reverse balking. The models finds its application in all fields of business, civil, and defence. They perform theoretical analysis of the model. In this paper, we simulate this model. An algorithm is written in...
