Abstract:    The multichannel queueing system SM/PH/n/r with unreliable servers and their group refusals is under consideration. The refusals and the restorations of servers groups occur with a constant intensity, the number of servers refusing simultaneously is a stochastic value, and customers with the interrupted servicing begin its servicing anew after server restoration. The methods are offered to calculate the stationary distribution of the number of the customers in the system under different variants of the functioning of the system.

Keywords:    multichannel queueing systems; unreliable servers; refusals and restorations of servers groups

Abstract:    An M(t)/M(t)/S queue with catastrophes is considered and it is supposed that the catastrophes rates depend on the length of the queue. Sufficient conditions for weak ergodicity of the respective queue-length process and the respective bounds are obtained. Some examples are also considered.

LARGE DEVIATION ASYMPTOTICS OF STATIONARY QUEUES.

• E. V.Morozov    Institute of Applied Mathematical Research, Karelian Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, emorozov@krc.karelia.ru

Abstract:    The paper is a survey of main asymptotic results playing an important role in the quality of service estimation (QoS) of stationary systems. The asymptotics of the probability that the workload/queue-size process with heavy tail exceeds an increasing level is considered. Similar results for the systems with Levy input process and light-tailed service time are given. The proofs are based on the methods of large deviations theory and illustrated in detail by theM/M/1 system. The asymptotics of the overflow probability within regeneration cycle is considered, including the multiserver systems. An asymptotic analysis of system with the long-range dependent input is discussed, with focus on fractional Brownian process. The ties between the long-range dependence of a queue-size process and the moment properties of the embedded process of the regenerations are discussed.

Keywords:    stationary queue; large deviation probabilities; asymptotic analysis; light-tailed distributions; fractional Brownian process; long-range dependent process; regeneration

TRAFFIC-LEVEL PROBABILITY MODEL FOR THE NETWORK CENTRIC SYSTEM

• V. Y. Borodakiy    National Research Nuclear University “MEPHI”, vladbor@inbox.ru

Abstract:      A network centric system model with datacenters serving subscribers’ requests for a data transfer is considered. Data flows, so called elastic traffic, are characterized by a class independent bandwidth requirement and have exponentially distributed size. Flow request arriving is modeled by a Poisson process and data flows are served in accordance with the processor sharing discipline. A single link probability model analysis is presented and the exact expression of the flow blocking probability is derived.

Keywords:    network centric system; elastic traffic; blocking probability; single link

AN APPROACH TO ACTUARIAL MODELING WITH QUASI-MONTE CARLO: SIMULATION OF RANDOM SUMS DEPENDING ON STOCHASTIC FACTORS.

Abstract:    The problem of estimating the characteristics of a random sum, when the number of summands is also random, is addressed. The considered case includes an additional stochastic factor: although the summed random variables come from a distribution of a known form, the parameters of this distribution are stochastic and can themselves be viewed as random variables (with known distributions). The Quasi-Monte-Carlo techniques are used to handle this problem and to analyze its efficiency relative to the regular Monte-Carlo simulation methods. The typical area of the application of the investigations is actuarial practice which often deals with random sums of financial losses. Besides actuarial applications, the proposed method may be useful in application to certain problems in informatics, related to the aggregation of heavy-tailed data.

Keywords:   actuarial modeling; quasi-Monte-Carlo simulation; random sums

Abstract:    A new model for the distribution of particle size under fracturing with the account of nonconstant or random character of the intensity of the flow of impacts.Within the framework of thismodel, a criterion of the log-normality of the distribution under consideration is formulated and the class of possible distributions of particle size under fracturing is described. Along with many known models, this class contains scale mixtures of log-normal laws.
