In this article the authors deal with the shortest queue model with jockeying. They assume that the arrivals are Poisson, each of the exponential servers has his own queue, and jockeying among the queues is permitted. Explicit solutions of the equilibrium probabilities, the expected customers, and the expected waiting time of a customer in the system are given, which only depend on the traffic intensity. Numerical results can be easily obtained from the present solutions. Several examples are provided in the article.
