   <dcterms:abstract>This paper discusses a discrete-time queueing system in which an arriving customer&#xd;
may adopt four different strategies; two of them correspond to a LCFS discipline&#xd;
where displacements or expulsions occur, and in the other two, the arriving customer&#xd;
decides to follow a FCFS discipline or to become a negative customer eliminating the&#xd;
customer in the server, if any. The different choices of the involved parameters make&#xd;
this model to enjoy a great versatility, having several special cases of interest. We&#xd;
carry out a thorough analysis of the system, and using a generating function approach,&#xd;
we derive analytical results for the stationary distributions obtaining performance&#xd;
measures for the number of customers in the queue and in the system. Also, recursive&#xd;
formulae for calculating the steady-state distributions of the queue and system size&#xd;
has been developed. Making use of the busy period of an auxiliary system, the sojourn&#xd;
times of a customer in the queue and in the system have also been obtained. Finally,&#xd;
some numerical examples are given.</dcterms:abstract>
