Abstract: Abstract We consider an infinite sequence consisting of agents of several types and goods of several types, with a bipartite compatibility graph between agent and good types. Goods are matched with agents that appear earlier in the sequence using FCFS matching, if such are available, and are lost otherwise. This model may be used for two-sided queueing applications such as ride sharing, Web purchases, organ transplants, and for parallel redundant service queues. For this model, we calculate matching rates and delays. These can be used to obtain waiting times and help with design questions for related service systems. We explore some relations of this model to other FCFS stochastic matching models.
