Abstract: 

A split-merge queueing system with two servers, the service times of which are identically distributed and dependent according to different copulas, is considered. The influence of service time dependence on the average sojourn time of a request in the system is studied. Expressions are derived for the expected value of the system response time, its behavior is analyzed for various values of the Kendall and Blomquist correlation coefficients, and formulas are derived for the bounds of the average response time depending on the value of the Blomqvist coefficient.
