Staffing many-server queues with autoregressive inputs
NAVAL RESEARCH LOGISTICS, 68(3), 312–326.
author keywords: autocorrelation; heavy‐ traffic approximations; many‐ server queues; mean‐ reverting process; non‐ Poisson arrivals; optimal staffing; parameter uncertainty; queues with customer abandonment
TL;DR:
A multiserver queueing system where customer arrivals follow a doubly stochastic Poisson point process whose intensities are driven by a Cox–Ingersoll–Ross (CIR) process is studied, finding that, in order to achieve the designated service level, such an autoregressive feature in the arrival model translates into notable adjustment in the staffing formula, and such an adjustment can be fully characterized by the parameters of the new arrival model.
