Finite customer-pool queues
Onno Boxma, Offer Kella, Michel Mandjes

TL;DR
This paper analyzes a queueing system with a finite customer pool, deriving the time-dependent distributions of customers, workload, and waiting times using transform techniques.
Contribution
It provides a novel characterization of finite customer-pool queues through transform methods, extending classical queue analysis.
Findings
Explicit formulas for time-dependent distributions
Characterization of workload and waiting times
Extension of queue theory to finite customer pools
Abstract
In this paper we consider an M/G/1-type queue fed by a finite customer-pool. In terms of transforms, we characterize the time-dependent distribution of the number of customers and the workload, as well as the associated waiting times.
