Abstract

This chapter pertains to a systems where the service discipline behaves in a preemptive priority way. The system has one server, infinite capacity, exponential inter-arrival and service times. An example is a military unit using a one-frequency radio system where the top commander can interrupt any ongoing call whenever needed. The probability on n units, and the basic performance measures of the system are developed. Examples are presented.
