Abstract

This paper deals with a bulk input-batch service queueing system and (r,N)-hysteretic control, i.e., under N-policy and r-quorum discipline. The model also includes state dependent service. The goal of such global control is to reduce the waste of server capacity (r-quorum), an unwanted number of switchovers between idle and busy modes (N-policy), and the queue length (by means of variable service rates). The analysis of the system is based on first excess level technique developed by the second author. This approach enables the authors to obtain major characteristics for the queueing process in a closed analytical form.
