A generalized method of moments for closed queueing networks
We introduce a new solution technique for closed product-form queueing networks that generalizes the Method of Moments (MoM), a recently proposed exact algorithm that is several o...

Quasi-birth-and-death processes with restricted transitions and its applications
In this paper we identify a class of Quasi-Birth-and-Death (QBD) processes where the transitions to higher (resp. lower) levels are restricted to occur only from (resp. to) a subs...

Closed-form waiting time approximations for polling systems
A typical polling system consists of a number of queues, attended by a single server in a fixed order. The present study derives closed-form approximations for the mean waiting t...

Lumping partially symmetrical stochastic models
Performance and dependability evaluation of complex systems by means of dynamic stochastic models (e.g. Markov chains) may be impaired by the combinatorial explosion of their stat...
