A quorum queueing system with an unreliable server. (English) Zbl 1192.68110

Summary: We analyze a bulk service queueing system with an unreliable server, Poisson input, and general service and repair times. A stability condition and steady state system size distributions are obtained. The optimal management policy is discussed and illustrative examples are provided.
