Abstract
We study a service system with a fixed upper bound for its workload and two independent inflows of customers: frequent 'small' ones and occasional 'la rge' ones. The workload process generated by the small customers is modelle d by a Brownian motion with drift, while the arrival times of the large cus tomers form a Poisson process and their service times are exponentially dis tributed. The workload process is reflected at zero and at its upper capaci ty bound. We derive the stationary distribution of the workload and several related quantities and compute various important characteristics of the sy stem.
