Analysis of Stochastic Models through Multi-Layer Markov Modulated Fluid Flow Processes
(University of Waterloo, 2021-07-19)This thesis is concerned with the multi-layer Markov modulated fluid flow (MMFF) processes and their applications to queueing systems with customer abandonment. For the multi-layer MMFF processes, we review and refine ... -
An Application of Matrix Analytic Methods to Queueing Models with Polling
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-23)We review what it means to model a queueing system, and highlight several components of interest which govern the behaviour of customers, as well as the server(s) who tend to them. Our primary focus is on polling systems, ... -
Applications of claim investigation in insurance surplus and claims models
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-03)Claim investigation is a fundamental part of an insurer's business. Queues form as claims accumulate and claims are investigated according to some queueing mechanism. The natural existence of queues in this context prompts ... -
Measuring & Mitigating Electric Vehicle Adoption Barriers
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-19)Transitioning our cars to run on renewable sources of energy is crucial to addressing concerns over energy security and climate change. Electric vehicles (EVs), vehicles that are fully or partially powered by batteries ... -
On Occupancy Based Randomized Load Balancing for Large Systems with General Distributions
(University of Waterloo, 2019-11-13)Multi-server architectures are ubiquitous in today's information infrastructure whether for supporting cloud services, web servers, or for distributed storage. The performance of multi-server systems is highly dependent ...
