A countdown could be interrupted by several kinds of problems and following each interruption, it could continue according to one of several policies; seven such policies are considered in this analysis. The problem addressed is that of accounting for the randomly occurring problems and the time required to deal with them when estimating the distribution of interrupted countdown durations. The countdown is considered as an interrupted service process, and expressionsARE DERIVED FROM WHICH THE MOMENTS OF THE INTERRUPTED COUNTDOWN DURATION DISTRIBUTION AN BE OBTAINED. The first two moments are derived explicitly. (Author)
