A Markov modulated fluid queue with batch arrivals and preemptions

We consider a preemptive priority fluid queue with two buffers for continuous fluid and batch fluid inputs. Those two types of fluids are governed by a Markov chain with a finite state space, called a background process, and the continuous fluid is preemptively processed over the batch fluid. The stationary joint distribution of the two buffer contents and the background state is obtained in terms of matrix transforms. Numerical computation algorithms are presented for various moments of the two buffer contents.
