Regenerative Simulation of Response Times in Networks of Queues,II:Multiple Job Types.

摘要

The writers have previously discussed the simulation of networks of queues for general characteristics of passage times of a single job type, using the regenerative method for simulation and the idea of tracking a distinguished job through the network. In this paper, they consider from a somewhat different point of view passage time simulation in closed networks for queues having multiple job types. Their results provide a means of obtaining, from a single replication, point and interval estimates for passage times of the several job types. They also yield a statistically more efficient estimation procedure for passage times of a single job type.
