A general birth-and-death queueing model is considered with N waiting positions (0 ≦ N ≦ ∞), s servers (1 ≦ s ≦ ∞) and a first-come-first-served queueing discipline. The first and second order moments of the steady-state waiting-time (excluding service) for a non-lost arriving customer are given. By setting the busy period equal to the time where at least one service is in progress, we obtain the first and second order moments of the length of a busy period and also the distribution of the number served during it, given an arbitrary number of customers present originally. Using a direct approach all expressions are given in explicit forms which, although being far from elegant, are suitable for evaluation on a computer.

In this paper we study the M/M/1 queueing model with retrial on network. We derive the steady state probability of customers in the network, the average number of customers in the all the three nodes in the system, the queue length, system length using little’s formula. The particular case is derived (no retrial). The numerical examples are given to test the correctness of the model.

Avi-Itzhak, Maxwell and Miller (1965) studied a queueing model with a single server serving two service units with alternating priority. Their model explored the possibility of having the alternating priority model treated in this paper with a single server serving alternately between two service units in tandem.Here we study the distribution of busy period, virtual waiting time and queue length and their limiting behavior.

A “correlated queue” is defined to be a queueing model in which the arrival pattern influences the service pattern or vice versa. A particular model of this nature is considered in this paper. It is such that the service time of a customer is directly proportional to the interval between his own arrival and that of his predecessor. The initial busy period, state and output processes are analyzed in detail. For completeness, a sketch is also given of the analysis of the waiting time process which forms the subject of another paper. The results are used in the analysis of the state and output processes.

We consider an M/M/2 queueing system with removable service stations operating under steady-state conditions. We assume that the number of operating service stations can be adjusted at customers' arrival or service completion epochs depending on the number of customers in the system. The objective of this paper is to obtain the distribution of the busy period using the theory of the gambler's ruin problem. As special cases, the distributions of the busy periods for the ordinary M/M/2 queueing system, the M/M/1 queueing system operating under the N policy and the ordinary M/M/1 queueing system are obtained.

We analyze a batch arrival queue with a single server providing two kinds of general heterogeneous service. Just before his service starts, a customer may choose one of the services and as soon as a service (of any kind) gets completed, the server may take a vacation or may continue staying in the system. The vacation times are assumed to be general and the server vacations are based on Bernoulli schedules under a single vacation policy. We obtain explicit queue size distribution at a random epoch as well as at a departure epoch and also the mean busy period of the server under the steady state. In addition, some important performance measures such as the expected queue size and the expected waiting time of a customer are obtained. Further, some interesting particular cases are also discussed.

ABSTRACTThe queue M |G| l is considered in the case in which customers are served in random order. A formal solution is obtained for the waiting time distribution in the steady state, and is used to consider the exponential decay of the distribution. The moments of the waiting time are examined, and the asymptotic form of the distribution in heavy traffic is found. Finally, the problem is related to those of the busy period and the approach to the steady state.
