Stability of queueing networks
In this thesis, the stability of queueing networks is studied. The use of test functions is a unifying thread. Tools are provided to construct appropriate test functions for complex networks, and the structure of such test functions is examined for specific network models. The analysis of queueing …

Queueing models for call centres
This research develops and evaluates queueing models that can be used to model characteristics of basic call centres, i.e. multi-server systems with time-dependent arrival rates, general service time distribution and state-dependent abandonments on arrival (balking). The discrete-time modelling …

Discrete-time queueing models with priorities
… of several discrete-time two-class priority queueing systems. We analyze non-preemptive, preemptive resume as well as preemptive repeat priority queues. The analyses are heavily based on probability generating functions that allow us to calculate moments and tail probabilities of the system …

XSnap : a queueing network analysis package
… be used to solve product-form mixed multi-class queueing networks. A Graphical User Interface allows interactive network specification, whilst the modeller can also define complex network experiments and request customised output through the use of a language called SnapL. The solution modules …

Multiserver queueing systems in heavy traffic
In the study of queueing systems, a question of significant current interest is that of large scale behavior, where the size of the system increases without bound. This regime has becoming increasingly relevant with the rise of massive distributed systems like server farms, call centers, and health …

Reversibility and flows in queueing networks
… between the flows of customers in a queueing network whose queue length process is a Markov process. A flow is a stochastic process formed by embedding the queue length process at transitions corresponding to: customers arriving to the network at a node; customers departing the …

Large deviation theory for queueing systems
… with a nonnegative state space as a model for a queueing system. The motivation of this study is about useful estimates of system performance. For example, in a system with finite queues, the probability of the system of queues going from an empty state to a state in which the population of at …

Queueing Models for Large Scale Call Centers
In the first half of this thesis, we extend the results of Halfin and Whitt to generally distributed service times. This is accomplished by first writing the system equations for the G/GI/N queue in a manner similar to the system equations for G/GI/Infinity queue. We next identify a key …

Queueing Network Analysis of Semiconductor Manufacturing Plants
We show how the performance bounds can be used to design wafer fabs. Specifically, one may formulate the problem as one of maximizing the performance subject to a capital cost constraint. Software has been developed both for performance bounds (called BoundFab) and for design (called DesignFab).

Large scale queueing systems : asymptotics and insights
Parallel server queues are a family of stochastic models useful in a variety of applications, including service systems and telecommunication networks. A particular application that has received considerable attention in recent years is the analysis of call centers. A feature common to these models …

Robust fluid control of multiclass queueing networks
