%0 Journal Article %A Artalejo Rodríguez, Jesús Manuel %A Gómez-Corral, Antonio %T Computation of the limiting distribution in queueing systems with repeated attempts and disasters %D 1999 %@ 1290-3868 %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/57426 %X Single server queues with repeated attempts are useful in the modeling of computer and telecommunication systems. In addition, we consider iii this paper the possibility of disasters. When a disaster occurs, all the customers present in the sq stein are destroyed immediately. Using a regenerative approach, we derive a numerically stable recursion scheme for the stare probabilities. This model can be employed to analyze the behaviour of a buffer in computers with virus infections. %~
