A review is carried out on the characterisation and algorithmic implementation of an
extended product-form approximation, based on the principle of maximum entropy (ME), for …

A new methodology for performance analysis of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) with
priority scheduling is presented. The analytic model developed extends the mean value …

Computationally attractive and intuitively obvious simple bounds are proposed for finite
service systems which are subject to random breakdowns. The services are assumed to be …

The principle of maximum entropy is used under two different sets of mean value constraints
to analyse a stable G/G/1 queue with R priority classes under preemptive-resume (PR) and …

A two-layer performance model of a local-area network (LAN), consisting of a media-access
control (MAC) layer submodel and transport layer submodels, is presented. A multiple …

Current computer systems and communication networks tend to be highly complex, and they
typically hide their internal structure from their users. Thus, for selected aspects of capacity …

A very well-known and popular technique for the performance evaluation of current
computer, communication and operating systems is analytical modeling based on queuing …

An analytic framework is devised, based on the principle of maximum entropy (ME), for the
performance modelling and evaluation of a wireless GSM/GPRS cell supporting bursty …

The principle of maximum entropy (ME) is used to characterise a new product-form
approximation for the analysis of arbitrary open networks of queues at equilibrium with …
