An Approximation Method for General Tandem Queueing Systems Subject to Blocking
Abstract
An iterative approximation algorithm is presented for calculating the stationary queue size probabilities of tandem queueing systems subject to blocking. The algorithm combines a decomposition/aggregation technique with exact analytical results for two-node systems. It applies to tandem lines where failure-type servers with phase-type service and repair time distributions are in attendance under various blocking disciplines.
