Workload distribution of discrete‐time parallel queues with two servers

We study discrete‐time, parallel queues with two identical servers. Customers arrive randomly at the system and join the queue with the shortest workload that is defined as the total service time required for the server to complete all the customers in the queue. The arrivals are assumed to follow a geometric distribution and the service times are assumed to have a general distribution. It is a no‐jockeying queue. The two‐dimensional state space is truncated into a banded array. The resulting modified queue is studied using the method of probability generating function (pgf) The workload distribution in steady state is obtained in form of pgf. A special case where the service time is a deterministic constant is further investigated. Numerical examples are illustrated. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Note: Minimizing the variability of the waiting times in a globally gated elevator polling system

A polling system comprising n queues and a single server is considered. Service is performed according to an elevator scheme under the globally gated regime. The problem of arranging the channels to minimize a measure of the variability of the waiting times is addressed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 44: 605–611, 1997

突发事件处置经验对军队战时管理的启示

战时管理是关系作战全局的基础性工作,是保持和释放战斗力的重要举措,是确保军队高度集中统一、能打胜仗的重要支撑。有效提升军队战时管理能力是现代战争中部队管理工作亟待研究的重要课题。本文梳理了近期我国突发事件处置中的经验教训,从战时支前物资管理、战时人力资源管理及战时舆情信息管控三个方面提出：战时支前物资管理应完善机制、改造模式、畅通网络;战时人力资源管理应紧贴任务实际、突出岗才一致、彰显精简程序;战时舆情信息管控应统一机构、正确导向、纯洁队伍、严管舆论等措施,以期给未来战时管理决策提供可选方案,实现管理服务作战,保障打赢之目的。     

Scheduling parallel dedicated machines with the speeding‐up resource

We consider a problem of scheduling jobs on m parallel machines. The machines are dedicated, i.e., for each job the processing machine is known in advance. We mainly concentrate on the model in which at any time there is one unit of an additional resource. Any job may be assigned the resource and this reduces its processing time. A job that is given the resource uses it at each time of its processing. No two jobs are allowed to use the resource simultaneously. The objective is to minimize the makespan. We prove that the two‐machine problem is NP‐hard in the ordinary sense, describe a pseudopolynomial dynamic programming algorithm and convert it into an FPTAS. For the problem with an arbitrary number of machines we present an algorithm with a worst‐case ratio close to 3/2, and close to 3, if a job can be given several units of the resource. For the problem with a fixed number of machines we give a PTAS. Virtually all algorithms rely on a certain variant of the linear knapsack problem (maximization, minimization, multiple‐choice, bicriteria). © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effects of information on a queue with balking and phase‐type service times

This article generalizes the models in Guo and Zipkin, who focus on exponential service times, to systems with phase‐type service times. Each arriving customer decides whether to stay or balk based on his expected waiting cost, conditional on the information provided. We show how to compute the throughput and customers' average utility in each case. We then obtain some analytical and numerical results to assess the effect of more or less information. We also show that service‐time variability degrades the system's performance. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2008     

被动传感器融合检测系统的优化分布密度

被动传感器由于采用无源探测,而且制造成本低,体积小,在战场环境中将采用并配置大量的被动传感器来检测目标.不论是主动还是被动式传感器,在实际应用中均存在资源优化配置问题.针对被动传感器的具体应用模型,采取了若干合理近似,得到了在"OR"融合检测条件下,基于最大检测概率的被动传感器优化配置密度计算公式.     

新疆民俗数学文化探析

新疆民俗数学是具有鲜明民族特色、独特价值和丰富文化内涵的数学思想与思维方式的综合。新疆民俗数学较多地体现在用于造型和装饰的清真寺、民居、民族手工艺品等方面的几何纹饰上。对于民俗数学的研究,一方面是通过对这些集数学知识与传统文化于一体的“文化载体”的搜集、整理和分析,分析其蕴含的数学知识和数学思想;另一方面则关注民俗数学研究成果的教育学转化,在充分考虑新疆少数民族儿童数学认知思维特征以及数学双语教学原则、方法等的基础上,通过实现民俗数学的“课程化”,以弥补当前新疆少数民地区以“主流文化”为主导的数学课程对少数民族传统文化的“缺失”,进而推进本地区基础教育课程改革和数学教育质量的提升。     

机务保障要求到保障方案转换

首先以装备可靠性为依据,以任务要求中任务时间、出动飞机数量、任务可靠度等参数为约束,建立了保障资源的配置模型;在确定保障资源配置基础上再以保障任务时间为优化目标,建立保障任务调度模型和调度算法,按照保障专业调度优化,为保障方案制定奠定了重要基础,对实行精确化保障有重要现实意义,对基层级的保障工作有很强的指导作用。
