"Size-based Scheduling in Service Systems"
Size-based scheduling policies, such as shortest-remaining-processing-time (SRPT) and shortest-job-first (SJF), have been extensively studied for decades. Yet, almost all analytical results in the literature remain exclusive to single-server queues with infinitely patient jobs and under exact job-size information, which are assumptions that clearly do not hold in service systems such as call centers or healthcare facilities. In this work, we provide the first analytical results on the performance of size-based scheduling in multiserver queues with abandonment and inexact job-size information. This is joint work with Jing Dong, from Columbia Business School. Bio of Speaker: Rouba Ibrahim is a Professor at the School of Management of University College London. She holds a PhD degree in Operations Research from Columbia University. Her research and teaching interests focus on service operations using both queueing theoretic and data-analytic techniques. She serves on the editorial boards of Management Science, Operations Research, MSOM, Queueing Systems, and IISE Transactions.
