Abstract
In the literature, various methods have been studied for obtaining invariance relations, for example, L = λW (Little's formula), in queueing models. Recently, it has become known that the theory of point processes provides a unified approach to them (cf. Franken (1976), König et al. (1978), Miyazawa (1979)). This paper is also based on that theory, and we derive a general formula from the inversion formula of point processes. It is shown that this leads to a simple proof for invariance relations in G/G/c queues. Using these results, we discuss a condition for the distribution of the waiting time vector of a G/G/c queue to be identical with that of an M/G/c queue.

Abstract
This paper is a sequel to our previous paper investigating whenarrivals see time averages(ASTA) in a stochastic model; i.e., when the steady-state distribution of an embedded sequence, obtained by observing a continuous-time stochastic process just prior to the points (arrivals) of an associated point process, coincides with the steady-state distribution of the observed process. The relation between the two distributions was also characterized when ASTA does not hold. These results were obtained using the conditional intensity of the point process given the present state of the observed process (assumed to be well defined) and basic properties of Riemann–Stieltjes integrals. Here similar results are obtained using the stochastic intensity associated with the martingale theory of point processes, as in Brémaud (1981). In the martingale framework, the ASTA result is almost an immediate consequence of the definition of a stochastic intensity. In a stationary framework, the results characterize the Palm distribution, but stationarity is not assumed here. Watanabe's (1964) martingale characterization of a Poisson process is also applied to establish a general version of anti–PASTA: if the points of the point process are appropriately generated by the observed process and the observed process is Markov with left-continuous sample paths, then ASTA implies that the point process must be Poisson.

Abstract
For several queueing systems, sufficient conditions are given ensuring that from the coincidence of some time-stationary and customer-stationary characteristics of the number of customers in the system such as idle or loss probabilities it follows that the arrival process is Poisson.

Abstract
For M/GI/1/∞ queues with instantaneous Bernoulli feedback time- and customer-stationary characteristics of the number of customers in the system and of the waiting time are investigated. Customer-stationary characteristics are thereby obtained describing the behaviour of the queueing processes, for example, at arrival epochs, at feedback epochs, and at times at which an arbitrary (arriving or fed-back) customer enters the waiting room. The method used to obtain these characteristics consists of simple relationships between them and the time-stationary distribution of the number of customers in the system at an arbitrary point in time. The latter is obtained from the wellknown Pollaczek–Khinchine formula for M/GI/1/∞ queues without feedback.

Abstract
We discuss a method of obtaining invariance relations in complex systems by using the theory of point processes. New formulae are given for obtaining them generally, and in particular in many-stage models such as tandem and network queues. The formulae are shown to be useful by applications to a many-server queue and a tandem queue. Stochastic inequalities in a tandem queue are also discussed using the invariance relations obtained.

Abstract
We consider a single server first-come-first-served queue with a stationary and ergodic input. The service rate is a general function of the workload in the queue. We provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of the system and the asymptotic convergence of the workload process to a finite stationary process at large times. Then, we consider acyclic networks of queues in which the service rate of any queue is a function of the workloads of this and of all the preceding queues. The stability problem is again studied. The results are then extended to analogous systems with periodic inputs.

Abstract
This article reviews results related to event and time averages (EATA) for point process models, including PASTA, ASTA and ANTIPASTA under general hypotheses. In particular, the results for the stationary case relating the Palm and martingale approach are reviewed. The non-stationary case is discussed in the martingale framework where minimal conditions for ASTA generalizing earlier work are presented in a unified framework for the discrete- and continuous-time cases. In addition, necessary and sufficient conditions for ASTA to hold in the stationary case are discussed in the case even when stochastic intensities may not exist and a short proof of the ANTIPASTA results known to date are given.

Abstract
For the delayed Bernoulli feedback queue with first come–first served discipline under weak assumptions a relationship for the generating functions of the joint queue-length distribution at various points in time is given. A decomposition for the generating function of the stationary total queue length distribution has been proven. The Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the stationary joint workload distribution function is represented by its marginal distributions. The arrival process is Poisson, renewal or arbitrary stationary, respectively. The service times can form an i.i.d. sequence at each queue. Different kinds of product form of the generating function of the joint queue-length distribution are discussed.

Abstract
In this paper a point-process approach is given for determining the Palm-type (number-weighted) distribution of the size factor of the grains of a stationary grain model in the plane with non-overlapping, identically shaped and identically orientated convex grains starting from a suitably chosen characteristic of the grain model observed in fixed points of the plane.
