Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 3 Join Minimum Cost Queue Parallel queues with single server providing round robin service Each queue has a join price and congestion is posted Arrivals use a disutility f(price,queue) that is increasing in price and queue and joins the queue for which the disutility is minimum Motivation from Tirupati queues Academia Industry Meet 2002, Electrical Engineering Department Internet Pricing and Queue Control

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay 4 Results: We show that for single class with linear cost function, the system is nearly socially optimal Use truncation models and reduce the problem to Quasi Birth Death Models for analysis in the presence of multiclass customers Use a dynamic price adaptation scheme to maintain the queue lengths at prescribed levels and analyse using o.d.e. approach to stochastic approximation Academia Industry Meet 2002, Electrical Engineering Department
