Abstract :
The paper is concerned with the investigation of a multiserver computer-controlled queuing system with preemptive priorities and feedback. A formula for the generating function of the state probabilities of the system is derived and a method using the transition probabilities of a Markov chain for determining the first waiting-time distribution in the system is presented.
