Learn how clock-regulated queues work, from simple single queues to finite-capacity models, with clear math you can apply.
This book examines how messages move through network switches and queues when service times are fixed and inputs follow simple probabilistic rules. It treats the infinite-capacity case as a random walk on the nonnegative integers, then extends the idea to the output process and the first-return behavior. The discussion blends exact difference equations with generating functions to reveal steady-state distributions and waiting-time properties. It also contrasts two finite-capacity queue models, showing how boundary conditions alter performance in practical settings.
Readers will see how to translate queue behavior into solvable mathematical forms, understand the role of i.i.d. inputs, and compare single- and multi-stage systems. The text emphasizes the relationships between queue length, waiting time, and output clusters, providing a toolkit for analyzing similar stochastic systems.
Ideal for readers of stochastic processes, operations research, and applied probability who want concrete techniques for queue analysis.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of clock-regulated queues, a crucial component in the large-scale computer networks of today. A unique type of queueing system emerges from this book, contrasting with the conventional continuous time queues. The author meticulously investigates the behavior of such a queue, particularly when an infinite number of messages flow into the system. The mathematical models developed here provide a precise framework for analyzing single-server queues within these networks. The author's approach combines queuing theory with random walk principles, resulting in groundbreaking equations that describe how queues of both infinite and finite capacities operate. These discoveries contribute to the understanding of how networks handle input streams, transforming them into varying output streams. Additionally, the book explores the statistical distribution of waiting times, an essential factor in network efficiency. The author also sheds light on the characteristics of output processes, uncovering patterns in the timing of message departure from the queue. Through rigorous mathematical analysis, this book expands our comprehension of clock-regulated queues. Its insights pave the way for further advancements in network design and performance optimization, particularly in the realm of large-scale digital computers, and ultimately contribute to the seamless flow of information in our increasingly interconnected world.
