Performance and Reliability Analysis of Computer Systems: An Example-Based Approach
Using the SHARPE Software Package provides a variety of probabilistic, discrete-state …

In this paper a recent result of Baskett, Chandy, Muntz, and Palacios is generalized to the
case in which customer transitions are characterized by more than one closed Markov chain …

Queuing networks are studied at selected points in the steady state, namely, at the moments
when jobs of a given class arrive into a given node (either from the outside or from other …

Queueing analysis is a vital tool used in the evaluation of system performance. Applications
of queueing analysis cover a wide spectrum from bank automated teller machines to …

This paper is a tutorial and a survey of analytical methods in the evaluation of data
communication networks. The major mathematical methods are Markov chains applied to …

Welcome to the second edition of Queueing Modelling Fundamentals With Applications in
Communication Networks. Since the publication of the first edition by the first author Ng …

Recently PG Harrison derived a closed form solution for the normalizing constant of a closed
network of single server queues. In the present paper, we describe an alternative method of …

In this communication, Moore's result for the normalization constant of a closed queuing
network of exponential servers is extended to the case of nondistinct traffic intensities. We …

A message-switched network with three-level flow-control, namely End-to-End, Local and
Global, is considered. A queueing model of the entire controlled network. including …

Queueing networks and their properties have been subjected to intensive study in the past
ten years. The primary application considered has been the analysis of computer system …
