customer classes and two associated service pools containing large numbers of agents. To set the important queue-ratio … parameters, we consider an approximating deterministic fluid model. We determine queue-ratio parameters that minimize convex … stochastic model. Indeed, the simulations show that the proposed queue-ratio control with thresholds outperforms the optimal …
