Abstract -4 queueing network is a set of interconnected servers. Customers are injected continu- ously in the system. inducing some workload for each semer. A fundamental issue that arises in this context is that of stability: will the total workload in the sÿstem remain bounded over tirne:' in t his thesis, we investigate the question of stability within the model defined in [BKRf 961. where workload is induced by an adversarÿ. Prior work in the adversarial model considers only packet routing networks. a speciai case of queueing networks, where ail custoniers require unit service tirne. We estend this mode1 to include more general queueing networks, where the customers may require different service times at different servers of the network. We show that the queueing poiicies proven to be universally stable for packet rou t- ing networks, are universally stable in the new adversarial mode1 as well. Llnlike the packet routing networks. we prove that in the new model. the unidirectional ring is not universally stable. Furtherrnore. we define four new queueing policies for the new model. which depend upon the service times of the customers. and we esarnine their stability. Finally. following the outline in [BEiSWSG]. we provide a detailed proof that the Nearest-To-Go queueing policy can become unstable when workload is injected at arbitrarily small constant rate.

In this nork we analyze the behavior of queueing networks where customers are continuously injected into the sys- tem. Each customer induces some workload in the network. A crucial question arising in this contest is that of stability - will the total workload in the sÿstem remain bounded as the systern runs for an arbitrarily long period of time*? The answer to this question typi- cally depends on the rate at which tvorkload is injected into the system and the queueing policy that is used at the nodes of the network. A queueing network is a set of iriterconnected servers. We assume tliat eacli server is associated with a single queue of infinite size. and each queue is serviced by a sirigte server. Customers arrive at the servers of the network. When the service of some customer at some server is completed the custorner rnoves to another server or it esits the system. IF more than one customer wishes to be serviced at some server S. the queueing policy chooses one of the customers to be serviced nest: the rernainder of these customers wait in the queue of server S. ..\ queueing policy is work-conserving if a server is never idle whenever there is at least one customer in the queue of the server. A queueing policy is called non-preemptive if the service of some customer at some server is never interrupted until it is completed. In general, a queueing network is characterized by the following parameters. 0 The process that injects the custorners in the network. 0 The routing of the customers in the network. 0 The service times of the custorners at the servers. The queueing policy. It is obvious that if the rate at which workload arrives at some server is greater than the rate at which the workload is serviced at that server. then the system becomes unstable. .A natural condition for stability, referred to as the rate condition. is that the rate at which workload is induced at any server is strictly Iess than the service rate of the server. Intuitively, it seems that the rate condition should be sufficient for stabiIity of any queueing network. This is true for man. systems [liIei5. Iie179], but it is not true in al1 cases [LI<91, RS92. DW96. Bra94a. Bra9lb. SeiS-l]. The question of necessary and sufficient conditions for stability is one of the rnost interesting questions in the area of queueing networks. Queueing networks are the object of study of queueing theory. Typical assumptions in queueing theory are that the customers are injected according to a time invariant dis- tribution (often a Poisson process), and that the service time of a custonier, or customer type at some server is a random variable following a tirne invariant distribution ( often an esponential distribution). In this thesis we work within a model proposed by Borodin et al. [BIiR+96]. in which probabilistic assumptions are replaced by worst-case in pu ts. The underlying goal is to determine whether it is feasible to prove stability results even when customers are injected by an adversary, rather than a randomized process: the adversary deterrnines the route of the customers in the system and the service tirne they receive at each server. For systems that are not stable, we seek to establish instability within the weakest possible adversarial model. 1.2 Adversarial

Bradley Submitted to the Department of Mathematics on April 26, 2002, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract I analyze packet routing on unidirectional ring networks, with an eye towards establishing bounds on the expected length of the queues. Suppose we route packets by a greedy “hot potato” protocol. If packets are inserted by a Bernoulli process and have uniform destinations around the ring, and if the nominal load is kept fixed, then I can construct an upper bound on the expected queue length per node that is independent of the size of the ring. If the packets only travel one or two steps, I can calculate the exact expected queue length for rings of any size. I also show some stability results under more general circumstances. If the packets are inserted by any ergodic hidden Markov process with nominal loads less than one, and routed by any greedy protocol, I prove that the ring is ergodic. Thesis Supervisor: F.

  • Stochastic Monotonicity of Markovian Multi-Class Queueing
    Stochastic Systems arXiv: arXiv:0000.0000 STOCHASTIC MONOTONICITY OF MARKOVIAN MULTI-CLASS QUEUEING NETWORKS By H. Leahu, M. Mandjes University of Amsterdam Multi-class queueing networks (McQNs) extend the classi- cal concept of Jackson network by allowing jobs of different classes to visit the same server. While such a generalization seems rather natural, from a structural perspective there is a sig- nificant gap between the two concepts. Nice analytical features of Jackson networks, such as stability conditions, product-form equilibrium distributions, and stochastic monotonicity do not immediately carry over to the multi-class framework. The aim of this paper is to shed some light on this structural gap, focusing on monotonicity properties. To this end, we in- troduce and study a class of Markov processes, which we call Q-processes, modeling the time evolution of the network configu- ration of any open, work-conservative McQN having exponential service times and Poisson input. We define a new monotonicity notion tailored for this class of processes. Our main result is that we show monotonicity for a large class of McQN models, covering virtually all instances of practical interest. This leads to interesting properties which are commonly encountered for ‘traditional’ queueing processes, such as (i) monotonicity with respect to external arrival rates and (ii) star-convexity of the stability region (with respect to the external arrival rates); such properties are well known for Jackson networks, but had not been established at this level of generality. This research was partly motivated by the recent development of a simulation-based method which allows one to numerically determine the stability region of a McQN parametrized in terms of the arrival rates vector.

British Columbia Abstract This dissertation focuses on the performance analysis of multiclass open queueing networks using semi-martingale reflecting Brownian motion (SRBM) approximation. It consists of four parts. In the first part, we derive a strong approximation for a multiclass feedforward queueing network, where jobs after service completion can only move to a downstream service station. Job classes are partitioned into groups. Within a group, jobs are served in the order of arrival; that is, a first-in-first-out (FIFO) discipline is in force, and among groups, jobs are served under a pre-assigned preemptive priority discipline.

  • 27 Apr 2013 Reversibility in Queueing Models
    Reversibility in Queueing Models Masakiyo Miyazawa Tokyo University of Science April 23, 2013, R1 corrected 1 Introduction Stochastic models for queues and their networks are usually described by stochastic pro- cesses, in which random events evolve in time. Here, time is continuous or discrete. We can view such evolution in backward for each stochastic model. A process for this back- ward evolution is referred to as a time reversed process. It also is called a reversed time process or simply a reversed process. We refer to the original process as a time forward process when it is required to distinguish from the time reversed process. It is often greatly helpful to view a stochastic model from two different time directions. In particular, if some property is invariant under change of the time directions, that is, under time reversal, then we may better understand that property. A concept of reversibility is invented for this invariance. A successful story about the reversibility in queueing networks and related models is presented in the book of Kelly [10]. The reversibility there is used in the sense that the time reversed process is stochastically identical with the time forward process, but there are many discussions about stochastic models whose time reversal have the same modeling features. In this article, we give a unified view to them using the broader concept of the arXiv:1212.0398v3 [math.PR] 27 Apr 2013 reversibility. We first consider some examples. (i) Stationary Markov process (continuous or discrete time) is again a stationary Markov process under time reversal if it has a stationary distribution.
