Abstract We study how the average performance of a system degrades as the load nears its peak capacity. We restrict our attention to the performance measures of average sojourn tim...
We consider a general QBD process as defining a FIFO queue and obtain the stationary distribution of the sojourn time of a customer in that queue as a matrix exponential distribut...
Abstract We provide an approximate analysis of the transient sojourn time for a processor sharing queue with time varying arrival and service rates, where the load can vary over ti...

We consider systems of tandem blocking queues having a common retrial queue. The model represents dynamics of short TCP transfers in the Internet. Analytical results are available...
