We model a system that consists of a stream of customers processed through three steps by
two resources. The first resource, an investigator, handles the first step, in which she collects …

For a Markovian queueing network with two stations in tandem, finite intermediate buffer,
and M flexible servers, we study how the servers should be assigned dynamically to stations …

Consider a two-stage tandem queueing system, with dedicated machines in each stage.
Additional reconfigurable resources can be assigned to one of these two stations without …

Markov decision processes (MDPs) in queues and networks have been an interesting topic
in many practical areas since the 1960s. This paper Provides a detailed overview on this …

We consider a two-stage service system with two types of servers, namely subordinates who
perform the first-stage service and supervisors who have their own responsibilities in …

Workers assignment problems (WAPs) are found in several types of manufacturing systems.
Typically, WAPs are known to greatly impact the system performance. Numerous research …
