A survey of queueing systems with strategic timing of arrivals
Moshe Haviv, Liron Ravner
Consider a population of customers each of which needs to decide independently when to arrive to a facility that provides a service during a fixed period of time, say a day. This i…
An optimal mechanism charging for priority in a queue
Moshe Haviv, Eyal Winter
We derive a revenue-maximizing scheme that charges customers who are homogeneous with respect to their waiting cost parameter for a random fee in order to become premium customers.…
A rate balance principle and its application to queueing models
Binyamin Oz, Ivo Adan, Moshe Haviv
We introduce a rate balance principle for general (not necessarily Markovian) stochastic processes. Special attention is given to processes with birth and death like transitions, f…
Strategic Bidding in an Accumulating Priority Queue: Equilibrium Analysis
Moshe Haviv, Liron Ravner
We study the strategic purchasing of priorities in a time-dependent accumulating priority M/G/ queue. We formulate a non-cooperative game in which customers purchase priority co…
A strategic timing of arrivals to a linear slowdown processor sharing system
Liron Ravner, Moshe Haviv, Hai L. Vu
We consider a discrete population of users with homogeneous service demand who need to decide when to arrive to a system in which the service rate deteriorates linearly with the nu…
