Ankara : Department of Industrial Engineering and the Institute of Engineering and Science of Bilkent University, 1995.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 1995.Includes bibliographical references leaves 92-95.Polling models are special kinds of queueing models where multiple-customer
type single-stage is considered. In this thesis, first an overview and a classification
of polling models will be given. Then two-costomer one server M /M /l
polling models will be analyzed and the performance of models will be developed
for exhaustive, gated, and G-limited service policies. We give analytical
methods for a special type of polling model where we solve the system to get
mean queue lengths and thruput rates by three methods. The first one is based
on solving the steady state distribution of the Markov Process. The second is
a decompositon aiming to decrease the size of the problem. The third one is
an approximation method that uses the earlier results and it is very accurate.
The thesis will be concluded with possible future extensions.Daşçı, AbdullahM.S
