Service Interruptions in Large-Scale Service Systems

Pang, Guodong; Whitt, Ward - In: Management Science 55 (2009) 9, pp. 1499-1512

fluid models. We also show that these fluid models can be obtained from many-server heavy-traffic limits. … quantify the impact of service interruptions with increasing scale by introducing and analyzing approximating deterministic …

Responding to Unexpected Overloads in Large-Scale Service Systems

Perry, Ohad; Whitt, Ward - In: Management Science 55 (2009) 8, pp. 1353-1367

We consider how two networked large-scale service systems that normally operate separately, such as call centers, can help each other when one encounters an unexpected overload and is unable to immediately increase its own staffing. Our proposed control activates serving some customers from the...

Fluid Models for Overloaded Multiclass Many-Server Queueing Systems with First-Come, First-Served Routing

Talreja, Rishi; Whitt, Ward - In: Management Science 54 (2008) 8, pp. 1513-1527

Motivated by models of tenant assignment in public housing, we study approximating deterministic fluid models for …
