We present a new approach to the processor-sharing queue that allows us to study the accumulated work process of a job that requires an amount of processing time x. Our approach simplifies the proofs of some earlier results on expected conditional response times and extends them to the M/G/φ (·) class. The approach illuminates some of the paradoxical features of these systems.

The M/G/1 queue with batch arrivals and a queueing discipline which is a generalization of processor sharing is studied by means of Crump–Mode–Jagers branching processes. A number of theorems are proved, including investigation of heavy traffic and overloaded queues. Most of the results obtained are also new for the M/G/1 queue with processor sharing. By use of a limiting procedure we also derive new results concerning M/G/1 queues with shortest residual processing time discipline.

Predictability of revenue and costs to both operators and users is critical for payment schemes. We study the issue of the design of payment schemes in networks with bandwidth sharing. The model we consider is a processor sharing system that is accessed by various classes of users with different processing requirements or file sizes. The users are charged according to a Vickrey–Clarke–Groves mechanism because of its efficiency and fairness when logarithmic utility functions are involved. Subject to a given mean revenue for the operator, we study whether it is preferable for a user to pay upon arrival, depending on the congestion level, or whether the user should opt to pay at the end. This leads to a study of the volatility of payment schemes and we show that opting for prepayment is preferable from a user point of view. The analysis yields new results on the asymptotic behavior of conditional response times for processor sharing systems and connections to associated orthogonal polynomials.
