Abstract

It has been demonstrated by Takács in a series of papers and in his book that combinatorial methods can be successfully applied to derive certain probability distributions in queueing processes. In this paper, we further illustrate the usefulness of combinatorial techniques and determine the stochastic law of the busy period in two queueing systems particularly involving batches. It may be of interest to note that queues involving batches have been dealt with in [3] and [7].
