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 …

Internet relay chat is a system that allows groups of people to collaborate and chat from
anywhere in the world. Clearly defined by several RFC documents, it is arguably the most …

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 …

Many online application services are now provided by cloud-deployed VM clusters.
Although economical, VMs in the cloud are prone to interference due to contention for …

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 study intersection access control for autonomous vehicles. Platoon forming algorithms,
which aim to organize individual vehicles in platoons, are very promising. To create those …

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 …

VMs deployed in cloud environments are prone to performance interference due to dynamic
and unpredictable contention for shared physical resources among colocated tenants …

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 …

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 …
