    • A 2-class maintenance model with dynamic server behavior 

      Granville, Kevin; Drekic, Steve (Springer, 2019-04-29)
      We analyze a 2-class maintenance system within a single-server polling model framework. There are C+f machines in the system, where C is the cap on the number of machines that can be turned on simultaneously (and hence, ...
    • Controlling the workload of M/G/1 queues via the q-policy 

      Drekic, Steve; Fajardo, Val Andrei (Elsevier, 2015-06-01)
      We consider a single-server queueing system with Poisson arrivals and generally distributed service times. To systematically control the workload of the queue, we define for each busy period an associated timer process, ...
    • A model for deceased-donor transplant queue waiting times 

      Drekic, Steve; Stanford, David A.; Woolford, Douglas G.; McAlister, Vivian C. (Springer, 2015-01-01)
      In many jurisdictions, organ allocation is done on the basis of the health status of the patient, either explicitly or implicitly. This paper presents a self-promoting priority queueing model for patient waiting times which ...
    • On a 2-class polling model with reneging and ki -limited service 

      Granville, Kevin; Drekic, Steve (Springer, 2018-06-18)
      This paper analyzes a 2-class, single-server polling model operating under a ki-limited service discipline with class-dependent switchover times. Arrivals to each class are assumed to follow a Poisson process with phase-type ...
    • On a general mixed priority queue with server discretion 

      Fajardo, Val Andrei; Drekic, Steve (Taylor & Francis, 2016-10-01)
      We consider a single-server queueing system which attends to N priority classes that are classified into two distinct types: (i) urgent: classes which have preemptive resume priority over at least one lower priority class, ...
    • On the Number of Trials Needed to Obtain k Consecutive Successes 

      Drekic, Steve; Spivey, Michael Z. (Elsevier, 2021-04-30)
      A sequence of independent Bernoulli trials, each of which is a success with probability p, is conducted. For k ∈ Z+, let Xk be the number of trials required to obtain k consecutive successes. Using techniques from elementary ...
    • The Unobserved Waiting Customer Approximation 

      Granville, Kevin; Drekic, Steve (Springer, 2021-06-02)
      We introduce a new approximation procedure to improve the accuracy of matrix analytic methods when using truncated queueing models to analyse infinite buffer systems. This is accomplished through emulating the presence of ...
    • Waiting Time Distributions in the Preemptive Accumulating Priority Queue 

      Fajardo, Val Andrei; Drekic, Steve (Springer, 2017-03-01)
      We consider a queueing system in which a single server attends to N priority classes of customers. Upon arrival to the system, a customer begins to accumulate priority linearly at a rate which is distinct to the class to ...
