This paper studies the application of the time segmentation parallel simulation approach to efficient simulation of simple manufacturing queueing systems, namely systems of queues...
We consider a traffic-groomed optical network consisting of N nodes arranged in tandem. This optical network is modeled by a tandem queueing network of multi-rate loss queues with...

We focus on tandem queues with subexponential service time distributions. We assume that number of customers in front of the first station is infinite and there is infinite room f...
The Erlang formula is known to be insensitive to the holding time distribution beyond the mean. While calls are generally assumed to arrive as a Poisson process, we prove that it ...
Traffic burstiness has a significant impact on network performance. Burstiness can cause buffer overflows and packet drops and is particularly problematic in the context of small-b...
