Queueing Theory Approach to Modelling the Dynamics of the Human-Computer Interface.

摘要

This paper studies a model of the human-computer interface based on the idea of a message passing from one partner (the human) to the other (the computer) by means of an arbitrary number of layers which represent levels of abstraction of the message. The model uses a queueing theory formulation and assumes Poisson arrival and service characteristics to describe the movement of packets through the interface and to develop a criterion for network stability. Simulations are included to illustrate some of the theoretical results obtained. (RRH)
