Markov Regenerative Stochastic Petri Nets

H. Choi, V. Kulkarni, Kishor S. Trivedi
Computer Science
Perform. Evaluation
1 May 1994

We introduce a new class of stochastic Petri nets that can be analyzed by means of Markov regenerative processes and constitutes a true generalization of all the above classes. Expand

Markov and Markov-Regenerative pert Networks

V. Kulkarni, V. Adlakha
Computer Science
Oper. Res.
1 October 1986

This paper investigates pert networks with independent and exponentially distributed activity durations with finite-state, absorbing, continuous-time Markov chains with upper triangular generator matrices. Expand

Dynamic Scheduling of Outpatient Appointments Under Patient No-Shows and Cancellations

N. Liu, S. Ziya, V. Kulkarni
Computer Science
Manuf. Serv. Oper. Manag.
1 April 2010

We find that the open access policy, a recently proposed popular scheduling paradigm that calls for “meeting today's demand today,” can be a reasonable choice when the patient load is relatively low. Expand

Fluid stochastic Petri nets: Theory, applications, and solution techniques

G. Horton, V. Kulkarni, D. Nicol, Kishor S. Trivedi
Computer Science
Eur. J. Oper. Res.
16 February 1998

We introduce a new class of fluid stochastic Petri nets in which one or more places can hold fluid rather than discrete tokens. Expand

FSPNs: Fluid Stochastic Petri Nets

Kishor S. Trivedi, V. Kulkarni

Application and Theory of Petri Nets
21 June 1993

In this paper we introduce a new class of stochastic Petri nets in which one or more places can hold fluid rather than discrete tokens. Expand

A New Class of Multivariate Phase Type Distributions

V. Kulkarni
Mathematics, Computer Science
Oper. Res.
1 May 1989

A new class of multivariate phase type distributions (denoted by MPH*) is defined, based upon the total accumulated reward until absorption in a finite state, continuous time Markov chain. Expand

Retrial queues with server subject to breakdowns and repairs

V. Kulkarni, Bong D. Choi
Computer Science
Queueing Syst. Theory Appl.
11 November 1990

In this paper we consider a single server retrial queue where the server is subject to breakdowns and repairs where the retrial customers behave independently of each other. Expand
