Zero-Automatic Queues

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 3670))

Abstract

We introduce and study a new model: 0-automatic queues. Roughly, 0-automatic queues are characterized by a special buffering mechanism evolving like a random walk on some infinite group or monoid. The salient result is that all 0-automatic queues are quasi-reversible. When considering the two simplest and extremal cases of 0-automatic queues, we recover the simple M /M /1 queue, and Gelenbe’s G-queue with positive and negative customers.
