Book Description
This volume originates from two workshops, both focusing on themes that are reflected in the title of the volume. The first workshop took place at Eindhoven University of Technology, April 24-26, 2001, on the occasion of the University granting a doctorate honoris causa to Profes sor John A. Buzacott. The second workshop was held on June 15, 2002 at Cornell University (preceding the annual INFORMSjMSOM Confer ence), honoring John's retirement and his lifetime contributions. Each of the two workshops consisted of about a dozen technical presentations. The objective of the volume, however, is not to simply publish the proceedings of the two workshops. Rather, our objective is to put to gether a select set of articles, each organized into a well-written chapter, focusing on a timely topic. Collected into a single volume, these chapters aim to serve as a useful reference for researchers and practitioners alike, and also as reading materials for graduate courses or seminars.
Stochastic Models In Engineering, Technology And Management - Proceedings Of The Australia-japan Workshop

Pages : 628
Book Description
The proceedings contain a range of papers dealing with different issues relating to the theme of the workshop. The majority of them deal with model formulation and model analysis. A few deal with mathematical techniques that are needed to carry out model analysis. Some of the papers are theoretical whilst others are applied. As a result, the topics covered in these papers highlight the multifaceted nature of stochastic modelling and diversity of the applications of stochastic models.
Dynamic Scheduling of a Multi-class Queue I: Problem Formulation and Descriptive Results

Pages : 30
Book Description
The author considers an M/G/1 queue with several customer classes. It is not required that the queue be stable or even that the mean service time be finite for any class. The economic framework is linear, featuring a holding cost per unit time and fixed service reward for each class. Future costs and rewards are continuously discounted using a positive interest rate. The problem is to decide, at the completion of each service and given the state of the system, which class to admit next. The objective is to maximize expected net present value over an infinite planning horizon. The problem is formulated as a Markov renewal decision process. One very special type of scheduling rule, called a static policy, simply enforces a specified priority ranking. The return function under a static policy is explicity presented. In a subsequent paper it will be shown that there exists a static optimal policy. (Author).
Stochastic Modelling in Innovative Manufacturing

Book Description
This monograph contains some ofthe papers presented at a UK-Japanese Workshop on Stochastic Modelling in Innovative Manufacturing held at Churchill College, Cambridge on July 20 and 21st 1995, sponsored jointly by the UK Engineering and Physical Science Research Council and the British Council. Attending were 19 UK and 24 Japanese delegates representing 28 institutions. The aim of the workshop was to discuss the modelling work being done by researchers in both countries on the new activities and challenges occurring in manufacturing. These challenges have arisen because of the increasingly uncertain environment of modern manufacturing due to the commercial need to respond more quickly to customers demands, and the move to just-in-time manufacturing and flexible manufacturing systems and the increasing requirements for quality. As well as time pressure, the increasing importance of the quality of the products, the need to hold the minimum stock of components, and the importance of reliable production systems has meant that manufacturers need to design production systems that perform well in randomly varying conditions and that their operating procedures can respond to changes in conditions and requirements. This has increased the need to understand how manufacturing systems work in the random environments, and so emphasised the importance of stochastic models of such systems.

Book Description
The author continues the study of the dynamic scheduling problem introduced and formulated in the paper's predecessor. The positive interest rate is considered fixed throughout. It is shown that there exists a static optimal policy, and the corresponding optimal priority ranking is exhibited. Broadening the formulation to allow inserted idel time, it is shown that the previous optimal policy need be changed only be refusing to serve (under any circumstances) a certain number of the lowest priority classes.
