Regenerative Simulation of Response Times in Networks of Queues.

Abstract

Networks of queues occur frequently in diverse applications. In particular, they are widely used in studies of computer and communication system performance as models for the interactions among system resources. This monograph deals with mathematical and statistical methods for discrete event simulation of networks of queues. The emphasis is on methods for the estimation of general characteristics of 'passage times' in closed networks. Informally, a passage time is the time for a job to traverse a portion of a network. Such quantities, calculated as random sums of queueing times, are important in computer and communication system models where they represent job response times. (Author)
