Summary

In a recent paper [7] the authors studied the optimal control policy of the following queueing system. Customers arrive at a service station according to a time homogeneous Poisson process with a known arrival intensity, λ. The service time at the station is a random variable having a negative exponential distribution with intensity μ, which is under control and can be varied over a certain range, according to the management policy.
