| Keywords: | vacation models, GI/M/c queues | 
In this paper, we give a detailed analysis of the GI/M/c queue with synchronous multiple vacations. The distributions of the queue length and waiting time are obtained. Applying a matrix-geometric solution method, we develop stochastic decomposition results for steady-state performances.
