In this study, we consider stationary waiting times in a Poisson driven single-server m-node queues in series. We assume that service times at nodes are independent, and are either deterministic or non-overlapped. Each node excluding the first node has a finite waiting line and every node is operated under a FIFO service discipline and a communication blocking policy (blocking before service). By applying (max, +)-algebra to a corresponding stochastic event graph, a special case of timed Petri nets, we derive the explicit expressions for stationary waiting times at all areas, which are functions of finite buffer capacities. These expressions allow us to compute the performance measures of interest such as mean, higher moments, or tail probability of waiting time. Moreover, as applications of these results, we introduce optimization problems which determine either the biggest arrival rate or the smallest buffer capacities satisfying probabilistic constraints on waiting times. These results can be also applied to bounds of waiting times in more general systems. Numerical examples are also provided.

본 연구에서는 하나의 포아송 도착과정(Poisson Arrival Process)과 상수(constant) 서비스 시간을 갖는 유한 버퍼(finite buffer) 대기행렬을 분석 대상으로 한다. 유한 버퍼로 인한 차단현상으로 도착하는 고객이 시스템에 진입하지 못하고 시스템을 떠나게 된다. 이러한 M/D/1/K 대기행렬에서 차단확률(blocking probability)의 계산방법은 이미 연구되어있지만, 계산과정이 매우 복잡하다. 본 연구에서는(max,+)-대수를 이용하여 차단확률을 도출하는 새로운 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 방법은 기존 연구결과보다 쉽게 차단확률을 계산할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 보다 복잡한 대기행렬 망에서의 차단확률을 구하는데도 응용 될 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we consider characteristics of waiting times in s1n91e-server 3-node tandem queues with finite buffers, a Poisson arrival process and deterministic service times at all nodes. There are three buffers : one at the first node is infinite and the others are finite. We obtain the fact that sojourn time or departure process is independent of the capacities of the finite buffers and does not depend on the order of service times, which are the same results in the literature. Moreover, the explicit expressions of stationary waiting times in all areas of the systems can be derived as functions of the finite buffer capacities. We also disclose a relationship of waiting times in subareas of the systems between two blocking policies communication and manufacturing. Some numerical examples are also provided.

In this letter, we consider an m-node tandem queue (queues in series) with a Poisson arrival process and either deterministic or non-overlapping service times. With the assumption that each node has a finite buffer except for the first node, we show the non-increasing convex property of stationary waiting time with respect to the finite buffer capacities. We apply it to an optimization problem which determines the smallest buffer capacities subject to probabilistic constraints on stationary waiting times.

In this study, we consider characteristics of stationary waiting times in single-server 2-node tandem queues with a finite buffer, a Poisson arrival process and deterministic service times. The system has two buffers: one at the first node is infinite and the other one at the second node is finite. We show that the sojourn time or departure process does not depend on the capacity of the finite buffer and on the order of nodes (service times), which are the same as the previous results. Furthermore, the explicit expressions of waiting times at the first node are given as a function of the capacity of the finite buffer and we are able to disclose a relationship of waiting times between under communication blocking and under manufacturing blocking. Some numerical examples are also given.

In this paper we analyzed the electromagnetic behavior of high $-T_{c}$ superconductor under the quench state using finite element method. Poisson equation was used in finite element analysis as a governing equation and was solved using algebra equation using Gallerkin method. We first investigate d the electromagnetic behavior of U-type superconductor. Finally we applied our analysis techniques to 5.5 kVA meander-line superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) which are currently developed by many power-system researcher in the world. Meshes of 14,600 elements were used in analysis of this SFCL. Analysis results show that the distribution of current density was concentrated to inner curvature in meander-line type-superconductors and maximum current density 14.61 $A/\m^2$ and also maximum Joule heat was 6,420 W/㎥. We concluded that this meander line-type SFCL was not pertinet fur uniform electromagnetic field distribution.n.
