Zero-automatic queues and product form

Discrete Mathematics 2007-07-25 v1

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 stable 0-automatic queues have a product form stationary distribution and a Poisson output process. 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.
