Abstract

A two-step procedure is described to approximate first come first served delay distributions in M/G/1 and GI/G/1 systems. The procedure consists in formulating a coarse initial approximation for the distribution sought, and then correcting this approximation by means of a suitable integral transformation. Examples are displayed.
