Models for Work Backlogs at Computers that Time-Share Heterogeneous Users.
Abstract
A number of repairman-type models useful for describing and evaluating time-sharing computer systems with multitype users are presented and analyzed. Several approximation methods are introduced including one which allows for performance evaluation as a function of the queue discipline. Diffusion approximations are also considered. The accuracy of each of the approximation methods is assessed by numerical methods. (Author)
