Abstract: We consider a discrete-time queueing system subjected to random server interruptions. As customers arriving in the queue require generally distributed service times, the server can be interrupted during a customer's service. Therefore, nine different service strategies are proposed and analyzed using a probability generating functions approach. Performance measures under investigation include moments of steady-state buffer contents at random slot boundaries in equilibrium and moments of the customer delay. In particular we focus on the stability requirements for the strategies under consideration. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2002
