For an M/G/1 processor-sharing queue with batch arrivals, Avrachenkov et al. [1] conjectured that the conditional mean sojourn time is concave. However, Kim and Kim [5] showed that this conjecture is not true in general. In this paper, we show that this conjecture is true if the service times have a hyperexponential distribution.

An age-dependent branching process where disasters occur as a renewal process leading to annihilation or survival of all the cells, is considered. For such a process, the total mean sojourn time of all the cells in the system is analysed using the regeneration point technique. The mean number of cells which die in time t and its asymptotic behaviour are discussed. When the disasters arrival as a Poisson process and the lifetime of the cells follows exponential distribution, elegant inter- relationships are found among the means of (i) the total number of cells which die in time t (ii) the total sojourn time of all cells in the system upto time t and (iii) the number of living cells at time t. Some of the existing results are deduced as special cases for related processes.

This paper introduces the modeling and analysis of a discrete-time, two-phase queueing system for both exhaustive batch service and gated batch service. Packets arrive at the system according to a Bernoulli process and receive batch service in the first phase and individual services in the second phase. We derive the probability generating function (PGF) of the system size and show that it is decomposed into two PGFs, one of which is the PGF of the system size in the standard discrete-time Geo/G/1 queue without vacations. We also present the PGF of the sojourn time. Based on these PGFs, we present useful performance measures, such as the mean number of packets in the system and the mean sojourn time of a packet.

We consider a priority-based multiclass queue with probabilistic feed-back. There are J service stations. Each customer belongs to one of the several priority classes, and the customers of each class arrive at each station in a Poisson process. A single server serves queued customers on a priority basis with a nonpreemptive scheduling discipline. The customers who complete their services feed back to the system instantaneously and join one of the queues of the stations or depart from the system according to a given probability. In this paper, we propose a new method to simplify the analysis of these queueing systems. By the analysis of busy periods and regenerative processes, we clarify the underlying system structure, and systematically obtain the mean for the sojourn time, i.e., the time from the arrival to the departure from the system, of a customer at every station. The mean for the number of customers queued in each station at an arbitrary time is also obtained simultaneously.

본 논문에서는 D-정책을 갖는 이산시간 BMAP/G/1 대기행렬의 이탈시점 및 임의시점 고객수 분포와 체재시간 분포를 분석하였다. 서로 상관성을 갖는 집단고객(패킷)들이 이산시간 마코비안 도착과정을 따라 시스템에 도착하고, 서버는 도착한 고객들의 서비스시간의 총합이 일량 임곗값을 초과하였을 때 재가동을 시작하여 시스템에 남은 고객이 없을 때까지 서비스한다. 시스템의 안정상태 고객수 분포와 체재시간 분포를 변환 벡터 형태로 유도하고 성능척도로서 평균값을 계산하였다. 수치 예제를 통해 복잡한 형태의 수식으로 나타나는 결과들을 계산하여 얻을 수 있음을 확인하고, 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하여 이론값의 타당성을 검증하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다양한 산업 분야에서 유사하게 작동하는 복잡계 시스템의 주요 성능척도들을 구하고 여러 가지 최적화 문제를 분석하는 데 사용할 수 있다.

Even though many computational methods (recursive formulae) for blocking probabilities in finite-capacity M/D/1 queues have already been produced, these are forms of transforms or are limited to single-node queues. Using a distinctly different approach from the usual queueing theory, this study introduces explicit (transform-free) formulae for a blocking probability, a stationary probability, and mean sojourn time under either production or communication blocking policy. Additionally, the smallest buffer capacity subject to a given blocking probability can be determined numerically from these formulae. With proper selection of the overall offered load ${\rho}$, the approach described herein can be applicable to more general queues from a computational point of view if the explicit expressions of random vector $D_n$ are available.

Objectives: This retrospective cohort study aimed to estimate the mean sojourn time (MST) of preclinical gastric cancer in Korean men. Methods: The subjects consisted of voluntary male screenees aged 40 to 69 years who underwent subsequent screening gastroscopies after testing negative at a baseline screening performed between January 2007 and December 2011. A new case was defined if gastric cancer cells were present in the biopsy specimens obtained from gastroscopy. The follow-up period was calculated as the number of person-years between the date of baseline screening gastroscopy and positive findings at a subsequent screening. The MST was calculated using transition rates of gastric cancer to determine the best screening interval. Results: Of the 171 979 voluntary male screenees, 61 688 (36%) underwent subsequent screening gastroscopies between January 2007 and December 2011. A total of 91 incident cases were found during 19 598 598 person-years of follow-up. The MST of gastric cancer was 2.37 years (95% confidence intervals, 1.92 to 2.96), and those aged 40 to 49 years had a shorter MST than those 50 to 69 years did. Conclusions: These findings support the 2-year interval of screening recommended by the nationwide gastric cancer screening program in Korea. Further studies for the age-specific MST among women are needed.

전통적인 워크플로우 시간분석은 단위작업을 독립적인 M/M/1 대기행렬모형에 적용하여 수행해왔다. M/M/1 시스템 성능척도의 일반해들을 활용하면 여러 가지 분석이 가능해진다. 특히 워크플로우 시스템의 AND 구조를 분석함에 있어 M/M/1 시스템 성능척도를 활용하면 그 체재시간에 대한 분석이 가능하다. 그러나 실질적인 AND 구조를 정확히 묘사하기 위해서는 각각의 M/M/1 시스템이 독립이라는 가정이 없어야 한다. 본 연구는 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 한 업무에 대한 모든 단위작업이 동시에 시작하는 상황으로 가정한다. 이 가정 하에서는 M/G/1 시스템의 성능척도를 이용하여 이론적 분석이 가능해진다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 실질적인 AND 구조를 정확히 묘사할 수 있는 방법론을 소개한다. 마지막으로 가상의 시스템을 구성하여 이론적인 해와 시뮬레이션 결과들을 수록함으로써 제안된 방법론들을 검증한다. 본 연구에서 사용된 주요 시스템 성능척도는 평균대기시간과 평균체재시간이다.

In this paper, we introduce a roots method that uses the roots inside the unit circle of the associated characteristics equation to evaluate the steady-state system-length distribution at three epochs (pre-arrival, arbitrary, and post-departure) and sojourn-time distribution in GI/PH/1 queueing model. It is very important for an air base to inspect airplane oil because low-quality oil leads to drop or breakdown of an airplane. Since airplane oil inspection is composed of several inspection steps, it sometimes causes train congestion and delay of inventory replenishments. We analyzed interarrival time and inspection (service) time of oil supply from the actual data which is given from one of the ROKAF's (Republic of Korea Air Force) bases. We found that interarrival time of oil follows a normal distribution with a small deviation, and the service time follows phase-type distribution, which was first introduced by Neuts to deal with the shortfalls of exponential distributions. Finally, we applied the GI/PH/1 queueing model to the oil train congestion problem and analyzed the distributions of the number of customers (oil trains) in the queue and their mean sojourn-time using the roots method suggested by Chaudhry for the model GI/C-MSP/1.

We consider single server feedback queueing systems with priorities. In the model, there are J stations and job classes. Jobs of class i arrive at station i according to a Poisson process, and have a general service time distribution. We derive the generating functions of the number of jobs at each station just after a busy period and the formula for the mean sojourn time that a specific tagged job spends at station j from its arrival to departure from the system.
