This paper introduces and analyzes the notion of throughput suboptimality for many-server queueing systems in heavy traffic. The queueing model under consideration has multiple customer classes, ...

Queueing theory provides the mathematical framework to analyse and optimise systems where congestion and waiting times are inherent, while optimal pricing strategies focus on designing cost structures ...

In this paper we consider a class of job shops with a dispatch area and a machine shop, where operational controls are exercised at the dispatch area as well as at the machine shop. For such dynamic ...

A queuing model has been developed that predicts how long a plane will wait before takeoff, given weather conditions, runway traffic, and incoming and outgoing flight schedules. The model may help air ...
