Abstract

Queueing systems with non-exponential service distributions and a capacity restriction on the total residual service requirement (workload) are studied. Closed-form expressions of geometric form in the LCFS case and recursive representations in the FCFS case are obtained for the steady state workload distribution. The proof is of interest in itself and directly leads to extensions.
