Abstract

We consider queueing systems where the stationary state probabilities are insensitive with respect to the distribution of certain basic random variables such as service requirements, interarrival times, repair times, etc. The conditional expected sojourn times are stated as Radon–Nikodym densities of the stationary distribution at jump points of the queueing system. The conditions are the given values of such basic random variables for which the insensitivity is valid. We use stationary point processes as our main tool. This means that dependences between certain basic random variables are permitted. Conditional expected real service times, conditional mean response times in closed queueing networks, and similar conditional expected values, are dealt with as special cases.
