Abstract
This paper considers the infinite server queue with arrivals generated by a non-homogeneous compound Poisson process. In such a system, customers arrive in groups of variable size, the arrival epochs of groups being points of a non-homogeneous Poisson process, and they are served without delay. The service times of customers who belong to the same group need not be independent nor identically distributed. Assuming that the system is initially empty, the transient distribution of the queue size and of the counting departure process is obtained. Also the limiting queue size distribution (when it exists) is determined and it is found to be insensitive to the form the service time distribution functions.
