Since the first paper on polling systems, written by Mack in 1957, a huge number of papers
on this topic has been written. A typical polling system consists of a number of queues …

This is a survey on polling systems, focussing on the basic single-server multi-queue polling
system in which the server visits the queues in cyclic order. The main goals of the paper …

The paper presents a review of papers on stochastic polling systems published in 2007–
2020. Due to the applicability of stochastic polling models, the researchers face new and …

We analyze a tandem polling queue with two stations operating under three different polling
strategies, namely:(1) Independent polling,(2) Synchronous polling, and (3) Out-of-sync …

We consider a polling system of N queues Q1,…, QN, cyclically visited by a single server.
Customers arrive at these queues according to independent Poisson processes, requiring …

In this paper we consider a single-server cyclic polling system. Between visits to successive
queues, the server is delayed by a random switch-over time. The order in which customers …

Let X (t); t≥ 0 be a continuous-time branching-immigration system with branching rates bk;
k≥ 0, k≠ 1 and immigration rates ak; k≥ 1. We assume that b 0= 0, m=:∑ k= 1∞ kbk<∞ …

In this paper, we study a traffic intersection with vehicle-actuated traffic signal control. Traffic
lights stay green until all lanes within a group are emptied. Assuming general renewal …

The stability of a cyclic polling system, with a single server and two infinite-buffer queues, is
considered. Customers arrive at the two queues according to independent batch Markovian …

We consider polling models consisting of a single server that visits the queues in a cyclic
order. In the vast majority of papers that have appeared on polling models, it is assumed that …
