Considers a K-server threshold-based queuing system with hysteresis in which the number of active servers is governed by a forward threshold vector F = (F/sub 1/, F/sub 2/, ..., F/sub K-1/), where F/sub 1/<F/sub 2/</spl middot//spl middot//spl middot/<F/sub K-1/, and a reverse threshold vector R = (R/sub 1/, R/sub 2/, ..., R/sub K-1/), where R/sub 1/<R/sub 2/</spl middot//spl middot//spl middot/
