Two Parallel Finite Queues With Simultaneous Services And Markovian Arrivals, Srinivas R. Chakravarthy, S. Thiagarajan Jan 1997

Two Parallel Finite Queues With Simultaneous Services And Markovian Arrivals, Srinivas R. Chakravarthy, S. Thiagarajan

Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering Publications

In this paper, we consider a finite capacity single server queueing model with two buffers, A and B, of sizes K and N respectively. Messages arrive one at a time according to a Markovian arrival process. Messages that arrive at buffer A are of a different type from the messages that arrive at buffer B. Messages are processed according to the following rules: 1. When buffer A(B) has a message and buffer B(A) is empty, then one message from A(B) is processed by the server. 2. When both buffers, A and B, have messages, then two messages, one from A …


A Finite Capacity Queue With Markovian Arrivals And Two Servers With Group Services, Srinivas Chakravarthy, Attahiru S. Alfa Feb 1994

A Finite Capacity Queue With Markovian Arrivals And Two Servers With Group Services, Srinivas Chakravarthy, Attahiru S. Alfa

Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering Publications

In this paper we consider a finite capacity queuing system in which arrivals are governed by a Markovian arrival process. The system is attended by two exponential servers, who offer services in groups of varying sizes. The service rates may depend on the number of customers in service. Using Markov theory, we study this finite capacity queuing model in detail by obtaining numerically stable expressions for (a) the steady-state queue length densities at arrivals and at arbitrary time points; (b) the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the stationary waiting time distribution of an admitted customer at points of arrivals. The stationary waiting …
