Abstract. Consider a tandem queue consisting of two single-server queues in series, with a Poisson arrival process at the first queue and arbitrarily distributed service times, which for any customer are identical in both queues. For this tandem queue, we relate the tail behaviour of the sojourn time distribution and the workload distribution at the second queue to that of the (residual) service time distribution. As a by-result, we prove that both the sojourn time distribution and the workload…

### Heavy traffic limit for a tandem queue with identical service times

Queueing Syst. Theory Appl.
• 2018
A two-node tandem queueing network in which the upstream queue is M/G/1 and each job reuses its upstream service requirement when moving to the downstream queue is considered, in which both servers employ the first-in-first-out policy.

### Steady-state asymptotics for tandem, split-match and other feedforward queues with heavy tailed service

• Mathematics
Queueing Syst. Theory Appl.
• 1999
It is shown that when the service time at the first node has a lighter tail, the tail of steady-state delay at the second node, D(2), has the same asymptotics as if it were a GI/GI/1 queue, and for split-match (fork-join) queues with subexponential service times, the same result holds.

### Delays in a series of queues: Independent versus identical service times

• W. Sandmann
The IEEE symposium on Computers and Communications
• 2010
It turns out that in light traffic the delays in case of identical service times are larger than for independent service times by a factor that first increases with increasing traffic intensity up to a maximum value approached in medium traffic after which it decreases quickly and drops down to become significantly smaller than one in heavy traffic.

### Tails for (max, plus) recursions under subexponentiality

• Mathematics, Computer Science
Queueing Syst. Theory Appl.
• 2006
Under subexponentiality assumptions on the input to the recursion, the tail asymptotics of certain (max, plus)-linear functionals of this solution arise from FIFO queueing networks; more specifically, from stochastic event graphs.

### About the Sojourn Time Process in Multiphase Queueing Systems

• Mathematics

Multiphase queueing systems (MQS) (tandem queues, queues in series) are of special interest both in theory and in practical applications (packet switch structures, cellular mobile networks, message

### Moments and tails in monotone-separable stochastic networks

• Mathematics, Computer Science

The purpose is the analysis of the tails of the stationary state variables in the particular case of i.i.d. driving sequences and establishes general comparison relationships between networks of this class and the GI/GI/1/\\infty queue.

### The M/G/1 queue with heavy-tailed service time distribution

• Mathematics
IEEE J. Sel. Areas Commun.
• 1998
An approximation for W(t), which is based on a heavy-traffic limit theorem for the M/G/1 queue with heavy-tailed service time distribution (with infinite variance), is presented and shown to yield excellent results for values of t which are not too small, even when the load is not heavy.

### Heavy-traffic analysis of the M/G/1 queue with priority classes

• Mathematics
• 1998
It is shown for this heavy-tailed case that the waiting time distribution of the low-priority customers is regularly varying of index one degree higher than that of the service time distribution with the heaviest tail.

### Networks of Queues with Long-Range Dependent Traffic Streams

Traditional applications of queuing theory in the analysis and design of communication networks often use the fact that quasi-reversible queues can be interconnected with Bernoulli routing to form network models whose stationary distribution is of product form, but recent empirical studies have provided strong evidence that the traffic to be carried by the next generation of communication Networks exhibits long-range dependence, implying that it cannot be satisfactorily modeled as a Poisson process.
