Nodal storage limitations in a store and forward computer network lead to blocking; this
results in degradation of network performance due to the loss or retransmission of blocked …

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 …

In the last two decades there has been special interest in queueing networks with a product
form solution. These have been widely used as models of computer systems and …

В настоящем обзоре отражены основные результаты по теории сетей массового
обслуживания и некоторые ее применения для анализа производительности …

PANACEA is a software package that significantly extends the range of Markovian queueing
networks that are computationally tractable. It solves multi-class closed, open, and mixed …

Considerable advances in the modeling and measurements of packet-switched networks
have been made since this concept emerged in the late sixties. In this paper, we first review …

This paper has two goals: the first is to introduce applied mathematicians to a new technique
involving several complex variable residue theory. This is a multidimensional extension of a …

In designing a computer system, it is vitally important to be able to predict the performance of
the system. Often, quantities such as throughput, processor utilization, and response time …

Closed Markovian networks of queues that have the product form in their stationary
probability distributions are useful in the performance evaluation and design of computer …

The so-called filler or garbage Hidden Markov Models (HMM-Filler) are among the most
widely used models for lexicon-free, query by string key word spotting (KWS) in the fields of …
