A Queueing Model for the Ambulance Ramping Problem with an Offload Zone
Josef Zuk, David Kirszenblat
This work develops a methodology for studying the effect of an offload zone on the ambulance ramping problem using a multi-server, multi-class non-preemptive priority queueing mode…
Analytic Approach to the Non-Preemptive Markovian Priority Queue
Josef Zuk, David Kirszenblat
Explicit and exact results are obtained for the joint queue-length distribution for the two-level non-preemptive Markovian priority queue. Marginal distributions are derived for th…
Joint Queue-Length Distribution for the Non-Preemptive Multi-Server Multi-Level Markovian Priority Queue
Josef Zuk, David Kirszenblat
Explicit results are obtained using simple and exact methods for the joint queue-length distribution of the M/M/c queue with an arbitrary number of non-preemptive priority levels.…
Explicit Results for the Distributions of Queue Lengths for a Non-Preemptive Two-Level Priority Queue
Josef Zuk, David Kirszenblat
Explicit results are derived using simple and exact methods for the joint and marginal queue-length distributions for the M/M/c queue with two non-preemptive priority levels. Equal…
Exact Results for the Distribution of the Partial Busy Period for a Multi-Server Queue
Josef Zuk, David Kirszenblat
Exact explicit results are derived for the distribution of the partial busy period of the M/M/c multi-server queue for a general number of servers. A rudimentary spectral method le…
