REal-time delay estimation in call centers
We use computer simulation to study the performance of alternative real-time delay estimators in heavily loaded multiserver queueing models. These delay estimates may be used to m...

Corrected asymptotics for a multi-server queue in the Halfin-Whitt regime
To obtain insight in the quality of heavy-traffic approximations for queues with many servers, we consider the steady-state number of waiting customers in an M/D/s queue as s . I...
