The Second Edition adds 17 new figures bringing the total number to 124; many of the
original figures have been revised. It also includes a new section with a novel derivation of …

Mixed-integer second-order cone programs (MISOCPs) form a novel class of mixed-integer
convex programs, which can be solved very efficiently as a result of the recent advances in …

This paper considers a continuous-review, single-product, production-inventory system with
a constant replenishment rate, compound Poisson demands, and lost sales. Two objective …

This article studies a single server queueing system in which customers arrive according to
a batch Markovian arrival process and customers are served in batches of random capacity …

Bayesian inference for double Pareto lognormal queues Page 1 The Annals of Applied
Statistics 2010, Vol. 4, No. 3, 1533–1557 DOI: 10.1214/10-AOAS336 © Institute of Mathematical …

The recent paper by Starobinski and Sidi proposes a new methodology based on an
approximation for modeling and analyzing power-tail distributions in communication …

M/G/1 queues, where G is a heavy-tailed distribution, have applications in Internet modeling
and modeling for insurance claim risk. The Pareto distribution is a special heavy-tailed …

This case study uses empirical data gathered at an Australian refinery to verify the
assumptions for queue distributions before using special-purpose software to plan the off …

Numerical evaluation of ruin probabilities in the classical risk model is an important problem.
If claim sizes are heavy-tailed, then such evaluations are challenging. To overcome this, an …

In teletraffic engineering, M/G/1 queues are pivotal for optimizing network performance and
operational efficiency. Closed formulas like the mean-value Pollaczek-Khinchin (MV-PK) are …
