Abstract. We consider
a batch arrival queueing system M(i)/M/1/m/ of varying
cluster arrival sizes I. The arrival process thus constitutes an
independent compound Poisson stream of rate lr where
and pr(I� i) = bi with bk=0 for k � 0.Acceptance into system is further limited by available space m
thus implying a truncation of an otherwise infinite domain.
With the aid of certain combinatoric analysis of partitions and
compositions the steady state distributions under various forms of
arrival size pattern have been explicitly obtained in terms of
system specifications. It is demonstrated that the results can
perfectly provide one more class of truncated geometric
distribution for a less idealistic modeling of the complex natural
process of aggregation, congregation and abundance for such
animals as soil microarthropods. A numerical illustration is
provided using some copious data from the biological literature.
