We consider the stable k-server queue with non-stationary Poisson arrivals and i.i.d. service times and show that the non-time-homogeneous Markov process Zt = (the queue length and residual service times at time t) can be subordinated to a stable time-homogeneous regenerative process. As an application we show that if the system starts from given conditions at time s then the distribution of Zt stabilizes (but depends on t) as s tends backwards to –∞. Also moment and stochastic domination results are established for the delay and recurrence times of the regenerative process leading to results on uniform rates of convergence.

The general theory for the many server queue due to Pollaczek (1961) and generalized by the author (de Smit (1973)) is applied to the system with exponential service times. In this way many explicit results are obtained for the distributions of characteristic quantities, such as the actual waiting time, the virtual waiting time, the queue length, the number of busy servers, the busy period and the busy cycle. Most of these results are new, even for the special case of Poisson arrivals.

Batch departures arise in various applications of queues. In particular, such models have been studied recently in connection with production systems. For the most part, however, these models assume Poisson arrivals and exponential service times; little is known about them under more general settings. We consider how their stationary queue length distributions are affected by the distributions of interarrival times, service times and departing batch sizes of customers. Since this is not an easy problem even for single departure models, we first concentrate on single-node queues with a symmetric service discipline, which is known to have nice properties. We start with pre-emptive LIFO, a special case of the symmetric service discipline, and then consider symmetric queues with Poisson arrivals. Stability conditions and stationary queue length distributions are obtained for them, and several stochastic order relations are considered. For the symmetric queues and Poisson arrivals, we also discuss their network. Stability conditions and the stationary joint queue length distribution are obtained for this network.

This paper establishes stochastic bounds for the phasal departure times of a heterogeneous-server queue with a recurrent input and Erlang service times. The multi-server queue is bounded by a simple GI/E/1 queue. When the shape parameters of the Erlang service-time distributions of different servers are the same, these relations yield two-sided bounds for customer waiting times and the queue length, which can in turn be used with known results for single-server queues to obtain characterizations of steady-state distributions and heavy-traffic approximations.

Poisson Arrivals

This paper considers a single-server queue with Poisson arrivals and multiple customer feedbacks. If the first service attempt of a newly arriving customer is not successful, he returns to the end of the queue for another service attempt, with a different service time distribution. He keeps trying in this manner (as an ‘old' customer) until his service is successful. The server operates according to the ‘gated vacation' strategy; when it returns from a vacation to find K (new and old) customers, it renders a single service attempt to each of them and takes another vacation, etc. We study the joint queue length process of new and old customers, as well as the waiting time distribution of customers. Some extensions are also discussed.

We assume that the successive service times in a single server queue with Poisson arrivals form an m-state semi-Markov process.The results for the M/G/1 queue are extended to this case. Both the time-dependence and the stationary solutions are discussed.

Stationary Probabilities

The queue with an infinite number of servers with a semi-Markovian arrival process and with negative exponential service times is studied. The queue length process and the type of the last customer to join the queue before time t are studied jointly, both in continuous and in discrete time. Limiting stationary probabilities are also obtained.
