A self-promoting priority model for transplant queues (abstract only)

In this paper, we propose a new priority discipline, called the (N,n)-preemptive priority discipline. Under this discipline, the preemption of the service of a low-class customer is determined by two thresholds N and n of the queue length of high-class ...

Customers of different priorities arrive at a counter in accordance with a Poisson process. The customers are served by a single server in order of priority and for each priority in order of arrival. Preemptive discipline is assumed. Three service ...

In this paper, we study three different problems where one class of customers is given priority over the other class. In the first problem, a single server receives two classes of customers with general service time requirements and follows a preemptive-...
