INFORMS Open Forum

The following new articles have been published to the Stochastic Systems web site at http://www.i-journals.org/ssy/
While these articles are mostly queueing focused, the journal publishes work of a much broader nature - essentially, work at the interface of applied probability and operations research is appropriate.

Stochastic Systems is the flagship journal of the INFORMS Applied Probability Society. This open-access journal seeks to publish high-quality papers that substantively contribute to the modeling, analysis, and control of stochastic systems. A paper's contribution may lie in the formulation of new mathematical models, in the development of new mathematical or computational methods, in the innovative application of existing methods, or in the opening of new application domains.
