Particle Swarm Optimization for the Machine Repair Problem with Working Breakdowns
This paper studies the M/M/1 machine repair problem using a single service station subject to working breakdowns. This service station can be in working breakdown state only when at least one failed machine ex...

Optimal management of a finite M/M/R queueing system with multiple customer classes
We analyzed an M/M/R queueing system with finite capacity N where customers have multiple classes with no priorities under steady-state conditions. It is assumed that any one class of arriving customer is service...

Optimal management for a finite M/M/R queueing system with two arrival modes
We consider an M/M/R queueing system with finite capacity N, where customers have two arrival modes under steady-state conditions. It is assumed that each arrival mode is serviced by one or more servers, and that...

Optimal control of a removable and non-reliable server in an M/M/1 queueing system with exponential startup time
We study a single removable and non-reliable server in the N policy M/M/1 queueing system. The server begins service only when the number of customers in the system reaches N (N≥1). After each idle period, the st...

Cost analysis of a finite M/M/R queueing system with balking, reneging, and server breakdowns
We study an M/M/R queueing system with finite capacity plus balking, reneging, and server breakdowns. Arriving customers balk (do not enter) with a probability (1 − b n) and renege (leave the queue after enterin...
