Optimal control of a queueing system with simultaneous service requirements. (English) Zbl 0633.90020

The paper discusses the optimal policy of allocating the servers in a queueing system with N identical servers. Customers are of two types - ordinary and locking. An ordinary customer requires a single server to be processed, whereas a locking customer requires processing by all the servers simultaneously. The locking customers arrive in a Poisson fashion, whereas an infinite number of ordinary customers is available in the system itself. Service times are exponentially distributed random variables with different parameters for the two types of customers.
