Optimal Order of Servers for Tandem Queues in Light Traffic
研究顾客按泊松过程到达两个串联服务站时，如何安排服务站顺序以最小化预期顾客延迟，基于轻交通近似方法。
We study single-server stations in tandem, in which customers arrive according to a Poisson Process and are to be served at each of two servers. The order of the stations is assumed not to affect the quality of the service customers obtain. Using a light traffic approximation, we select (for various joint distributions of service time) the order of the stations that minimizes expected customer delay.
