DESCRIPTION:We consider skill based parallel server systems under policy o
 f first come first served and assign to longest idle server. Key quantitie
 s for this model are matching rates - what fraction of customers of type i
  are served by server type j.  \nStability and performance are highly depe
 ndent on these matching rates and much is still unknown.  \nWe discuss som
 e relevant topics: product form solution and  fluid scaling\, reversibili
 ty of FCFS infinite bipartite matching model\, heuristics for service syst
 ems design\, and many server scaling.\n \nJoint work with Ivo Adan\, Mark
 o Boon\, Jean Mairesse\, Ana Busic and Hanqin  Zhang.\n
