Abstract
We study Markovian queueing systems consisting of two stations in tandem. There is a dedicated server in each station and an additional server that can be assigned to any station. Assuming that linear holding costs are incurred by jobs in the system and two servers can collaborate to work on the same job, we determine structural properties of optimal server assignment policies under the discounted and the average cost criteria. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

On optimal routing in overloaded parallel queues
(2013)We consider the problem of routing Bernoulli arrivals to parallel queues, where each queue provides service according to an independent Bernoulli process. We assume that the total arrival rate exceeds the sum of the service ... -
