Approximations for large scale closed queueing networks
Abstract
Evaluation of closed queueing networks with product form solutions is very time-consuming if the population sizes or the network size is large. This paper provides an analysis of an approximation technique, based upon mean value analysis which requires considerably less computation time, and yet achieves a high degree of accuracy. The approximates are unique in some feasible regions. Error analysis and illustrative examples are provided. © 1983.
