Technical Note—The Infinitely-Many-Server Queue with Semi-Markovian Arrivals and Customer-Dependent Exponential Service Times

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1287/opre.20.4.907

This note studies an infinitely-many-server queue with N types of customers arriving according to a semi-Markov process. The service times are independent exponential random variables with means 1/μi, where i is the type of customer being served. The stationary distribution of the embedded Markov chain and the limiting distribution of the continuous-time process are obtained.
