| Abstract: | The multiserver queueing system is considered, in which customers require a random number of identical servers who must start serving together, but who may leave their assigned customer separately. Specifically, the system consists of s independent and identical servers. A matrix-geometric formulation of the problem is provided and a simple method for computing the stationary probability vector is presented. An algorithm based on randomization for computing the waiting time distribution is proposed. A numerical example and issues involved in extending the formulation to include customer priority classes are also given. |
