Abstract

We present a new approach to the processor-sharing queue that allows us to study the accumulated work process of a job that requires an amount of processing time x. Our approach simplifies the proofs of some earlier results on expected conditional response times and extends them to the M/G/φ (·) class. The approach illuminates some of the paradoxical features of these systems.
