The M/M/k/setup model, where there is a penalty for turning servers on, is common in data
centers, call centers and manufacturing systems. Setup costs take the form of a time delay …

Recently multiserver queues with setup times have been extensively studied because they
have applications in power-saving data centers. A challenging model is the M/M/c/Setup …

Servers in many real queueing systems do not work at a constant speed. They adapt to the
system state by speeding up when the system is highly loaded or slowing down when load …

The M/M/k/setup model, where there is a penalty for turning servers on, is common in data

Data centers play an important role in today's IT infrastructure. However, their enormous
power consumption makes them very expensive to operate. Sadly, much of the power used …

In this paper, we consider a queue where the inter-arrival times are correlated and,
additionally, service times are also correlated with inter-arrival times. We show that the …

Two main methods are used to solve continuous-time quasi birth-and-death processes:
matrix geometric (MG) and probability generating functions (PGFs). MG requires a numerical …

A variety of problems in computing, service, and manufacturing systems can be modeled via
infinite repeating Markov chains with an infinite number of levels and a finite number of …

This paper studies a Markovian single-server non-symmetric two-queue polling system,
operating simultaneously under a combination of two well-known queueing regimes:(i)'Join …

One of the key performance challenges in cloud computing is the problem of interference, or
resource contention, among colocated VMs. While prior work has empirically analyzed …
