Optimal control of service rates in networks of queues. (English) Zbl 0617.60090

The problem of optimal service rate control in Markov queueing networks is considered. As an example the cycle-of-queues is chosen. The holding cost per unit time and service cost for each unit of time depending on the service rate and the number of queues are given. The aim of the authors is to define the optimal service rate for the minimization of expected discounted costs over a finite horizon. The stochastic dynamic programming method is used.
