Abstract

A transient solution for the system size in the M/M/1 queueing system with the possibility of catastrophes and server failures is analyzed. The steady state probabilities of the system size are also derived. Some important performance measures are discussed. Finally, the reliability and availability of the system are obtained.
Keywords: Catastrophes; Server failure; Steady state distribution
