Abstract :
The paper presents an investigation of a computer-controlled queuing system with a switching network, feedback and where blocked customers may become first in the queue, rejoin the end of the queue or leave the system permanently without service. A generating function for stationary-state probabilities of, the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of statistical equilibrium for, and a formula for the determination of the waiting-time distribution in the system are derived.
