Drum Models Using an Iterative Solution for Closed Queueing Networks

Abstract

An algorithm by Buzen to find the normalizing constant and marginal probabilities in a closed queueing network is generalized to the model of Muntz and Baskett. A technique involving the iterative solution of a closed queueing network to implement queue dependent completion time distribution is presented. An accurate model of a paging drum for queueing networks is given as an example.
