Abstract
We consider a queueing system with multiple Poisson arrival queues and a single batch server that has infinite capacity and a fixed service time. The problem is to allocate the server at each moment to minimize the long-run average waiting cost. We propose a Cost-Arrival Weighted (CAW) policy for this problem based on the structure of the optimal policy of a corresponding fluid model. We show that this simple policy enjoys a superior performance by numerical experiments.
