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 …

Within the combinatorial scheduling community, there has been an increasing interest in
modelling and solving scheduling problems in dynamic environments. Such problems have …

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 …

In this paper we consider a single-server cyclic polling system consisting of two queues.
Between visits to successive queues, the server is delayed by a random switch-over time …

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 …

The subject of the present monograph is the study of polling models, which are queueing
models consisting of multiple queues, cyclically attended by one server. Polling models …

A polling system is a type of queueing system in which a single server serves many queues.
In contrast to classical queueing systems, the server switches between queues and serves …

In this paper we consider a single-server, cyclic polling system with switch-over times. A
distinguishing feature of the model is that the rates of the Poisson arrival processes at the …
