Extract

We consider a single server queueing system M/G/1 in which customers arrive in a Poisson process with mean λt, and the service time has distribution dB(t), 0 < t < ∞. Let W(t) be the virtual waiting time process, i.e., the time that a potential customer arriving at the queueing system at time t would have to wait before beginning his service. We also let the random variable denote the first busy period initiated by a waiting time u at time t = 0.
