Optimal Pricing for a Service Facility with Congestion Penalties
We consider the optimal pricing problem in a service facility in order to maximize its long-run average profit per unit time. We model the facility as a queueing process that may have finite or infinite capacity. Customers are admitted into the system if it is not full and if they are willing to …

Reliable design of interdependent service facility systems under correlated disruption risks
Facility location decisions lie at the center of planning many infrastructure systems. In many practice, public agencies (e.g., governments) and private companies (e.g., retailers) need to locate facilities to serve spatially distributed demands. For example, governments locate public facilities, …

Analysis of a feed-forward priority queueing system
… units enter one of n priority queues if the service facility is busy. Units in the highest priority queue are served on a first-come-first-served basis while units in the lower priority queues will only be serviced if there are no higher priority units. A predefined delay time is employed for …

On the optimal location of transmitters for micro-cellular radio communication system design
… enables it to be conceptualized as a traditional facility location problem. The transmitter is a service facility responsible for serving all the receivers in the design space. A cost is incurred in terms of path-loss, delay spread, and other separation-based measures, whenever service is extended …
