Abstract

To optimize the performance of an M/M/s queue, Moder and Phillips [1] have studied the problem in which there are always n1 open counters ready to offer service. The actual number of open counters increases by one, up to a maximum n2, every time the number of waiting customers exceeds a certain critical number; it decreases by one every time the queue length becomes smaller than another critical number.
