Abstract:

We present optimality conditions for real-time multiserver system with large number of identical servers (e.g. unmanned air vehicles, machine controllers, etc.) and several non-identical channels (e.g. surveillance regions, assembly lines, etc.) working under maximum load regime with limited maintenance facilities. Optimization of these systems is a very important task. We calculate limiting values of system availability and its loss penalty function and show how to obtain optimal assignment probabilities which optimize (maximize and minimize respectively) these performance measures.
