Abstract

Tasks belonging to N priority classes arrive for processing in a single or multiserver facility. If the processing does not begin by a certain time (deterministic or random), the task is lost and a cost is incurred. We determine properties of dynamic, nonidling, nonpreemptive strategies that minimize an infinite horizon expected cost.
