Derivation of the N-step interdeparture time distribution in GI/G/1 queueing systems

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to calculate the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of N-step interdeparture time distribution in GI/G/1 queueing systems. An algorithmic computing procedure was developed that provides formulas of the interdeparture time distribution obtained by considering the probability of queue sizes and the interarrival and the service time distributions. The proposed procedure was found to be an alternative and novel tool for analyzing the intractable queueing problem.

The generalized Shifting Bottleneck Procedure (SBP)

Article Abstract:

The Shifting Botleneck Procedure (SBP) is generalized to solve various types of scheduling problems, namely, openshops, jobshops, assembly shops and shops with partial precedence constraints. Computational testing on a set of randomly generated problems shows that performance depends on the distribution of the work content of jobs and machines. A higher coefficient of the variation of work content would result in better solutions.

The beta-assignment problems

Article Abstract:

The problem of assigning n number of workers to m number of jobs with worker qualifications known in advance and the maximum number of jobs per worker minimized is considered. An algorithm is developed with the purpose of identifying the cardinality of the beta assignment problem. The algorithm computes for the possible existence of an edge, the density of the edge and the running times.
