Mean value analysis of closed queueing networks with Erlang service time distributions (Q580973): Difference between revisions

The classical mean value analysis approach is extended to single class closed queueing networks containing Erlang service time distributions and FCFS scheduling disciplines. A new formula for the mean residence time of jobs is derived. Each iteration provides self-checks for validity, and is repeated whenever invalid results are detected. On the average, the solutions obtained vary by less than five percent from their respective simulation results.
