Abstract:
This paper studies a finite-sized discrete-time two-class priority queue. Packets of both classes arrive according to a two-class discrete batch Markovian arrival process (2-DBMAP), taking into account the correlated nature of arrivals in heterogeneous telecommunication networks. The model incorporates time and space priority to provide different types of service to each class. One of both classes receives absolute time priority in order to minimize its delay. Space priority is implemented by the partial buffer sharing acceptance policy and can be provided to the class receiving time priority or to the other class. This choice gives rise to two different queueing models and this paper analyses both these models in a unified manner. Furthermore, the buffer finiteness and the use of space priority raise some issues on the order of arrivals in a slot. This paper does not assume that all arrivals from one class enter the queue before those of the other class. Instead, a string representation for sequences of arriving packets and a probability measure on the set of such strings are introduced. This naturally gives rise to the notion of intra-slot space priority. Performance of these queueing systems is then determined using matrix-analytic techniques. The numerical examples explore the range of service differentiation covered by both models.

Abstract:
A well-known problem with priority policies is starvation of delay-tolerant traffic. Additionally, insufficient control over delay differentiation (which is needed for modern network applications) has incited the development of sophisticated scheduling disciplines. The priority policy we present here has the benefit of being open to rigorous analysis. We study a discrete-time queueing system with a single server and single queue, in which $N$ types of customers enter pertaining to different priorities. A general i.i.d. arrival process is assumed and service times are generally distributed. We divide the time axis into 'frames' of fixed size (counted as a number of time-slots), and reorder the customers that enter the system during the same frame such that the high-priority customers are served first. This paper gives an analytic approach to studying such a system, and in particular focuses on the system content (meaning the customers of each type in the system at random slotmarks) in stationary regime, and the delay distribution of a random customer. Clearly, in such a system the frame's size is the key factor in the delay differentiation between the $N$ priority classes. The numerical results at the end of this paper illustrate this observation.

Abstract:
This special issue is devoted to showcase selected papers from the XIII CLAIO (Conferencia Latino-Ibero-Americana de Investigación Operativa, the Latin-Ibero- American Conference on Operations Research). This event is the flagship conference of ALIO, the Latin-Ibero-American Operations Research Association. The CLAIO, which is held biennially, is the main meeting point of the Latin-American Operations Research academic community. The event also fosters and features the participation of researchers from all over the world.
The papers presented in this special issue cover part of the large diversity of subjects covered at CLAIO, ranging from theoretical to applied viewpoints. Over 350 extended abstracts were accepted to the conference, providing novel methodological contributions, models, and algorithms, as well as case studies that illustrate the application of optimization in real-life settings. We are pleased to introduce here a representative set of papers, arising from our selection and the refereeing process.

Abstract:
This special issue is based on, but not limited to, contributions from invited speakers of the International Workshop in Financial Mathematics and Statistics held at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, on December 16, 2004. The workshop was well attended by experts in the field all over the world.
The issue aims to look at leading-edge research on the interface between derivatives, insurance, securities and quantitative finance. As financial mathematics and statistics are two essential components in these four areas, the issue, as we hope, will give the readers a survey of the important tools of mathematics and statistics being used in the modern financial institutions.
In this special issue, 7 papers are included. The papers cover mathematical finance topics, such as option pricing, interest models and stochastic volatility; topics in risk management, such as Value at Risk, liquidity risk management; and actuarial science topics, such as ruin theory.
The papers in the issue were selected with a view towards readers coming from finance, actuarial science, mathematics or statistics. Hopefully this is a first step to provide a platform for people who are interested in the interplay among theory and practice of these disciplines.
