Practical Implications

This paper is devoted to the practical implications of the theoretical results obtained in Part I [1] for queueing systems consisting of two single-server queues in series in which the service times of an arbitrary customer at both queues are identical. For this purpose some tables and graphs are included. A comparison is made—mainly by numerical and asymptotic techniques—between the following two phenomena: (i) the queueing behaviour at the second counter of the two-stage tandem queue and (ii) the queueing behaviour at a single-server queue with the same offered (Poisson) traffic as the first counter and the same service-time distribution as the second counter. This comparison makes it possible to assess the influence of the first counter on the queueing behaviour at the second counter. In particular we note that placing the first counter in front of the second counter in heavy traffic significantly reduces both the mean and variance of the total time spent in the second system.

Controlled Queues

This paper studies a controlled queueing system in which the decisionmaker may change servers according to rules which depend only on the queue length. It is proved that for a given control policy a properly normalised sequence of these controlled queue length processes converges weakly to a controlled diffusion process as the queueing systems approach a state of heavy traffic.

Drift Parameter

We consider a drift parameter estimation problem when the state process is a reflected fractional Brownian motion (RFBM) with a nonzero drift parameter and the observation is the associated local time process. The RFBM process arises as the key approximating process for queueing systems with long-range dependent and self-similar input processes, where the drift parameter carries the physical meaning of the surplus service rate and plays a central role in the heavy-traffic approximation theory for queueing systems. We study a statistical estimator based on the cumulative local time process and establish its strong consistency and asymptotic normality.
