In this paper we analyze a single removable and unreliable server in the N policy M/G/1 queueing system in which the server breaks down according to a Poisson process and the repair time obeys an arbitrary distribution. The method of maximum entropy is used to develop the approximate...

This paper studies maximum likelihood estimates as well as confidence intervals of an M/M/R queue with heterogeneous servers under steady-state conditions. We derive the maximum likelihood estimates of the mean arrival rate and the three unequal mean service rates for an M/M/3 queue with...

This paper analyzes the unloader queueing model in which N identical trailers are unloaded by R unreliable unloaders. Steady-state analytic solutions are obtained with the assumptions that trip times, unloading times, finishing times, breakdown times, and repair times have exponential...

Short-term optimization dispatching of cascaded hydroelectric system with day (or week) cycle is of great value in practical implementation, such as improving grid stability, more power benefits. This study proposes a short-term self-optimization simulation model for cascaded hydroelectric...

High precision design wave height is required in extreme marine environments in typhoon-affected sea areas. A new model is built under typhoon effect to calculate the design wave heights. The new model has multiple undetermined parameters, and it is able to fit observed data more flexibly and...

operating under the triadic (0,Q, N,M) policy, where L is the maximum number of customers in the system. The number of working servers can be adjusted one at a time at arrival epochs or at service completion epochs depending on the number of customers in the system. Analytic closed-form...

We study an M/M/R queueing system with finite capacity plus balking, reneging, and server breakdowns. Arriving customers balk (do not enter) with a probability (1 − b n ) and renege (leave the queue after entering) according to a negative exponential distribution. The server can break down at...

This paper deals with the cost benefit analysis of series systems with warm standby components. The time-to-repair and the time-to-failure for each of the primary and warm standby components is assumed to have the negative exponential distribution. We develop the explicit expressions for the...
