We consider a system of N finite-capacity queues attended by a single server in cyclic order. For each visit by the server to a queue, the service is given continuously until that queue becomes empty (exhaustive service), given continuously only to those customers present at the visiting instant (gated service), or given to only a single customer (limited service). The server then switches to the next queue with a random switchover time, and administers the same type of service there similarly. For such a system where each queue has a Poisson arrival process, general service time distribution, and finite capacity, we find the distribution of the waiting time at each queue by utilizing the known results for a single M/G/1/K queue with multiple vacations.

This paper studies a discrete-time, single-server queueing model having a compound Poisson input with time-dependent parameters and a general service time distribution.All major transient characteristics of the system can be calculated very easily. For the queueing model with periodic arrival function, some explicit results are obtained.

We consider a single-server infinite-capacity queueing sysem with Poisson arrivals of customer groups of random size and a general service time distribution, the server of which applies a general exhaustive service vacation policy. We are concerned with the steady-state distribution of the actual waiting time of a customer arriving while the server is active.

The buffer overflow period in a queue with Markovian arrival process (MAP) and general service time distribution is investigated. The results include distribution of the overflow period in transient and stationary regimes and the distribution of the number of cells lost during the overflow interval. All theorems are illustrated via numerical calculations.

We consider a polling system with a finite number of stations fed by compound Poisson arrival streams of customers asking for service. A server travels through the system. Upon arrival at a nonempty station i, say, with x > 0 waiting customers, the server tries to serve there a random number B of customers if the queue length has not reached a random level C < x before the server has completed the B services. The random variable B may also take the value ∞ so that the server has to provide service as long as the queue length has reached size C. The distribution Hi, x of the air (B, C) may depend on i and x while the service time distribution is allowed to depend on i. The station to be visited next is chosen among some neighbors according to a greedy policy. That is to say that the server always tries to walk to the fullest station in his well-defined neighborhood. Under appropriate independence assumptions two conditions are established that are sufficient for stability and sufficient for instability. Some examples will illustrate the relevance of our results.

We study the expected time for the work in an M/G/1 system to exceed the level x, given that it started out initially empty, and show that it can be expressed solely in terms of the Poisson arrival rate, the service time distribution and the stationary delay distribution of the M/G/1 system. We use this result to construct an efficient simulation procedure.

Waiting-time distributions for M/G/1 systems with priority dependent on class, order of arrival, service length, etc., are difficult to obtain. For single-server multipurpose processors the difficulties are compounded. A certain ergodic post-arrival depletion time is shown to be a true maximum for all delay times of interest. Explicit numerical evaluation of the distribution of this time is available. A heavy-traffic distribution for this time is shown to provide a simple and useful engineering tool with good results and insensitivity to service-time distribution even at modest traffic intensity levels. The relationship to the diffusion approximation for heavy traffic is described.
