Queues With Abandonment

The shortest-remaining-processing-time (SRPT) scheduling policy has been extensively studied, for more than 50 years, in single-server queues with infinitely patient jobs. Yet, much less is known about its performance in multiserver queues. In this paper, we present the first theoretical analysis of SRPT in multiserver queues with abandonment. In particular, we consider the [Formula: see text] queue and demonstrate that, in the many-sever overloaded regime, performance in the SRPT queue is equivalent, asymptotically in steady state, to a preemptive two-class priority queue where customers with short service times (below a threshold) are served without wait, and customers with long service times (above a threshold) eventually abandon without service. We prove that the SRPT discipline maximizes, asymptotically, the system throughput, among all scheduling disciplines. We also compare the performance of the SRPT policy to blind policies and study the effects of the patience-time and service-time distributions. This paper was accepted by Baris Ata, stochastic models & simulation.

Arrival Times

A single-server queueing system with a finite buffer, several types of impatient customers, and non-preemptive priorities is analyzed. The initial priority of a customer can increase during its waiting time in the queue. The behavior of the system is described by a multi-dimensional Markov chain. The generator of this chain, having essential dependencies between the components, is derived and formulas for computation of the most important performance indicators of the system are presented. The dependence of some of these indicators on the capacity of the buffer space is illustrated. The profound effect of the phenomenon of correlation of successive inter-arrival times and variance of the service time is numerically demonstrated. Results can be used for the optimization of dispatching various types of customers in information transmission systems, emergency departments and first aid stations, perishable foods supply chains, etc.

Service Times

A single server is fed by a renewal stream of individual customers. These are of type k with probability πk, k = 1, …, N, and are all served individually. Upon completion of a service the server proceeds immediately with a customer of the lowest type (= highest priority) present, if any. Service times for type k are drawn from a general distribution function Bk(t) concentrated on (0, ∞).We lay the foundations for a broad analysis of the model.

Busy Cycle

Pollaczek's theory for the many server queue is generalized and extended. Pollaczek (1961) found the distribution of the actual waiting times in the model G/G/s as a solution of a set of integral equations. We give a somewhat more general set of integral equations from which the joint distribution of the actual waiting time and some other random variables may be found. With this joint distribution we can obtain distributions of a number of characteristic quantities, such as the virtual waiting time, the queue length, the number of busy servers, the busy period and the busy cycle. For a wide class of many server queues the formal expressions may lead to explicit results.

Insight Into

This paper considers a queueing system consisting of two single-server queues in series, in which the service times of an arbitrary customer at both queues are identical. Customers arrive at the first queue according to a Poisson process.Of this model, which is of importance in modern network design, a rather complete analysis will be given. The results include necessary and sufficient conditions for stationarity of the tandem system, expressions for the joint stationary distributions of the actual waiting times at both queues and of the virtual waiting times at both queues, and explicit expressions (i.e., not in transform form) for the stationary distributions of the sojourn times and of the actual and virtual waiting times at the second queue.In Part II (pp. 644–659) these results will be used to obtain asymptotic and numerical results, which will provide more insight into the general phenomenon of tandem queueing with correlated service times at the consecutive queues.

Service Times

This paper studies theGI/G/1 queueing system assuming that customers have service times depending on the queue size and also that they are served in accordance with the preemptive-resume last-come–first-served queue discipline. Expressions are given for the limiting distribution of the queue size and the remaining durations of the corresponding services, when the system is considered at arrival epochs, at departure epochs and continuously in time. Also these results are applied to some particular cases of the above queueing system.

Iterative Solution Method

We derive expressions for the generating function of the equilibrium queue length probability distribution in a single server queue with general service times and independent Poisson arrival streams of both ordinary, positive customers and negative customers which eliminate a positive customer if present. For the case of first come first served queueing discipline for the positive customers, we compare the killing strategies in which either the last customer in the queue or the one in service is removed by a negative customer. We then consider preemptive-restart with resampling last come first served queueing discipline for the positive customers, combined with the elimination of the customer in service by a negative customer—the case of elimination of the last customer yields an analysis similar to first come first served discipline for positive customers. The results show different generating functions in contrast to the case where service times are exponentially distributed. This is also reflected in the stability conditions. Incidently, this leads to a full study of the preemptive-restart with resampling last come first served case without negative customers. Finally, approaches to solving the Fredholm integral equation of the first kind which arises, for instance, in the first case are considered as well as an alternative iterative solution method.

Practical Implications

This paper is devoted to the practical implications of the theoretical results obtained in Part I [1] for queueing systems consisting of two single-server queues in series in which the service times of an arbitrary customer at both queues are identical. For this purpose some tables and graphs are included. A comparison is made—mainly by numerical and asymptotic techniques—between the following two phenomena: (i) the queueing behaviour at the second counter of the two-stage tandem queue and (ii) the queueing behaviour at a single-server queue with the same offered (Poisson) traffic as the first counter and the same service-time distribution as the second counter. This comparison makes it possible to assess the influence of the first counter on the queueing behaviour at the second counter. In particular we note that placing the first counter in front of the second counter in heavy traffic significantly reduces both the mean and variance of the total time spent in the second system.
