If the interarrival times exponential w/ constant rate⇒
Random(Expo)
If the interarrival times exponential w/ time-dependent rate⇒
Schedule
We will see how to define schedules later
If the interarrival times are deterministic⇒ Constant
If interarrival times follow another distribution⇒ Expression
We can define complicated expressions
