In an observable queue, customers joining decisions may be influenced by wait-aversion
and crowd-attraction. These opposing phenomena and the diversity of arriving customers …

This study aims to identify a rejection policy that maximizes system congestion while
maintaining a minimal proportion of idling time for agents. To achieve this, we focus on an …

In this paper, we consider the order acceptance and order release decisions of a
manufacturer facing order-specific demand. In contrast to previous literature, both demand …

We consider the controlled tandem queuing network with two single-server finite-length
queues with non-stationary Poisson input flow of packets. The first station controls the …

A tandem queuing system that contains two single-channel stations with finite buffers and
allows blocking of the first server is considered. The first station receives nonstationary …

The Markov model is developed to explore the performance analysis of a state dependent
working vacation queueing system with interdependent rates. The server is subjected to …

We consider a two-station tandem queue with a buffer size of one at the first station and a
finite buffer size at the second station. Silva et al.(2013) gave a criterion determining the …

We study a controllable two‐station tandem queueing system, where customers (jobs) must
first be processed at upstream station and then the downstream station. A manager …

Motivated by communication networks, we study an admission control problem for a
Markovian loss system comprised of two finite capacity service stations in tandem …

We investigate a Markovian tandem queueing model in which service to the first queue is
provided in batches. The main goal is to choose the batch sizes so as to minimize a linear …
