Networks of Queues - Equilibrium Analysis.

摘要

Queueing network models abound in applications but, despite their importance, many of the results for these models (both classical and recent) are not well known. The intent of this paper is to provide an overview of available results on the equilibrium analysis of networks of queues, along with the methodology which has been employed to obtain those results. In addition, we call attention to some important open problems. Detailed discussion is limited to a small group of papers which seem important to use, and there is considerable emphasis on recent work appearing in the applied probability literature. The list of references does include, however, work not reviewed here, along with other survey and background material. (Author)
