Optimal Open-Loop Routing and Threshold-Based Allocation in TWO Parallel QUEUEING Systems with Heterogeneous Servers

In this paper, we study the problem of optimal routing for the pair of two-server heterogeneous queues operating in parallel and subsequent optimal allocation of customers between the servers in each queue. Heterogeneity implies different servers in terms of speed of service. An open-loop control as...
