Derivation of Confidence Intervals for Work Rate Estimators in a Closed Queuing Network

Published: 01 June 1975 Publication History

Abstract

Closed queuing networks arise naturally as models of multiprogrammed computer systems and subsystems. Techniques for the efficient simulation of such models can be obtained from analytical results on the stochastic structure of the queuing networks. In this paper, confidence intervals are derived for a class of new work rate estimators in a closed queuing network. Numerical results are given which demonstrate that a substantial reduction in the length of confidence intervals is obtainable by use of the proposed estimators.
