Many queueing systems are subject to time-dependent changes in system parameters, such as the arrival rate or number of servers. Examples include time-dependent call volumes and agents at inbound call centers, time-varying air traffic at airports, time-dependent truck arrival rates at seaports,...

Flow production lines with finite buffer capacities are used in practice for mass production, e.g., in the automotive and food industries. The decision regarding the allocation of buffer capacities to mitigate throughput losses from stochastic processing times and unreliable stations is known as...

Product rollovers take place when a product generation is replaced by a successor generation. The problem of deciding on the number of old products to be pre-produced before the introduction period, and then deciding on the prices, sales volumes, and production volumes of the old and the new...

We consider two competing firms' new product introduction and pricing problem where both firms introduce their products sequentially and set their prices at equilibrium. We use discrete features with different quality levels. Products can have unique features that are present only in one...
