We consider a finite buffer queue with one deterministic server fed by packets arriving in batches. We assume that we are not able to fully describe the batch distribution: only th...

We propose new techniques to simplify the computation of the cycle times and the absorption times for a large class of PEPA models. These techniques allow us to simplify the model ...
