Recursive equations based models of queueing systems
It provides a unified modeling framework for researchers and practitioners analyzing queueing systems, but is primarily a review of existing methods.
The paper reviews recursive equation models for queueing systems, using only max, min, and addition operations to represent arrival and departure times, enabling unified simulation and optimization.
An overview of the recursive equations based models and their applications in simulation based analysis and optimization of queueing systems is given. These models provide a variety of systems with a convenient and unified representation in terms of recursions for arrival and departure times of customers, which involves only the operations of maximum, minimum, and addition.
