BCMP Network - Definition of A BCMP Network

Definition of A BCMP Network

A network of m interconnected queues is known as a BCMP network if each of the queues is of one of the following four types:

  1. FCFS discipline where all customers have the same negative exponential service time distribution. The service rate can be state dependent, so write for the service rate when the queue length is j.
  2. Processor sharing queues
  3. Infinite server queues
  4. LCFS with pre-emptive resume (work is not lost)

In the final three cases, service time distributions must have rational Laplace transforms. This means the Laplace transform must be of the form

Also, the following conditions must be met.

  1. external arrivals to node i (if any) form a Poisson process,
  2. a customer completing service at queue i will either move to some new queue j with (fixed) probability or leave the system with probability, which is non-zero for some subset of the queues.

Famous quotes containing the words definition of a, definition of, definition and/or network:

    “Definition of a classic: a book everyone is assumed to have read and often thinks they have.”
    —Alan Bennett (b. 1934)

    “The physicians say, they are not materialists; but they are:MSpirit is matter reduced to an extreme thinness: O so thin!—But the definition of spiritual should be, that which is its own evidence. What notions do they attach to love! what to religion! One would not willingly pronounce these words in their hearing, and give them the occasion to profane them.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I’m beginning to think that the proper definition of “Man” is “an animal that writes letters.””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
    —Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
