Product forms for FCFS queueing models with arbitrary server-job compatibilities: an overview

K Gardner, R Righter - Queueing Systems, 2020 - Springer
In recent years, a number of models involving different compatibilities between jobs and
servers in queueing systems, or between agents and resources in matching systems, have …

Online policies for efficient volunteer crowdsourcing

Learning resource allocation policies from observational data with an application to homeless services delivery

A Rahmattalabi, P Vayanos, K Dullerud… - Proceedings of the 2022 …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
We study the problem of learning, from observational data, fair and interpretable policies that

Online acceptance probability approximation in peer-to-peer transportation

R Ausseil, MW Ulmer, JA Pazour - Omega, 2024 - Elsevier
Crowdsourced transportation by independent suppliers (or drivers) is central to urban
delivery and mobility platforms. While utilizing crowdsourced resources has several …

The cost of impatience in dynamic matching: Scaling laws and operating regimes

A Kohlenberg, I Gurvich - Management Science, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
We study matching queues with abandonment. The simplest of these is the two-sided queue
with servers on one side and customers on the other, both arriving dynamically over time …

Multi-item order fulfillment revisited: Lp formulation and prophet inequality

A Amil, A Makhdoumi, Y Wei - Available at SSRN 4176274, 2022 - papers.ssrn.com
In this work, we revisit the multi-item order fulfillment model introduced by Jasin and Sinha
(2015). Specifically, we study a dynamic setting in which an e-commerce platform (or online …

Matched queues with flexible and impatient customers

HL Liu, QL Li - Methodology and Computing in Applied Probability, 2023 - Springer
In this paper, we consider a double-ended queue with First-Come-First-Match discipline
(also known as matched queues) under customers' flexible and impatient behaviors. Such a …

Matching queues, flexibility and incentives

F Castro, P Frazier, H Ma, H Nazerzadeh… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2020 - arxiv.org
