On queues with service and interarrival times depending on waiting times
We consider an extension of the standard G/G/1 queue, described by the equation W D = max{0, B − A + Y W}, where P[Y = 1] = p and P[Y = −1] = 1 − p. For p = 1 this model red...

The acquisition queue
We propose a new queueing model named the acquisition queue. It differs from conventional queueing models in that the server not only serves customers, but also performs acquisit...

Stability of join-the-shortest-queue networks
This paper investigates stability behavior in a variant of a generalized Jackson queueing network. In our network, some customers use a join-the-shortest-queue policy when enterin...

Estimating tail probabilities of heavy tailed distributions with asymptotically zero relative error
Efficient estimation of tail probabilities involving heavy tailed random variables is amongst the most challenging problems in Monte-Carlo simulation. In the last few years, appli...

Large deviations and importance sampling for a tandem network with slow-down
We consider a variant of the two node tandem Jackson network where the upstream server reduces its service rate when the downstream queue exceeds some prespecified threshold. The...

Alternative proof and interpretations for a recent state-dependent importance sampling scheme
Recently, a state-dependent change of measure for simulating overflows in the two-node tandem queue was proposed by Dupuis et al. (Ann. Appl. Probab. 17(4):1306– 1346, 2007), to...

Iterative approximation of k -limited polling systems
The present paper deals with the problem of calculating queue length distributions in a polling model with (exhaustive) k-limited service under the assumption of general arrival, ...

Analyzing a degenerate buffer with general inter-arrival and service times in discrete time
We present the queueing analysis of a degenerate buffer having access to a single server. This system cannot realize any given delay, but only values that are an integer multiple ...
