Discrete-event stochastic systems with correlated inputs: Modeling and performance evaluation
In the majority of the previous works on discrete-event stochastic systems, they have been assumed to have independent input processes. However, in many applications, these input processes can be highly correl...

Correlated queues with service times depending on inter-arrival times
We consider a type of correlated queue in which the service time of a customer depends on the inter-arrival time between him and the previous customer. We first derive an infinite system of linear equations fo...
