Abstract

Closed product-form queueing networks are considered. Recursive schemata are proposed for the higher moments of the number of customers in the queues, called “moment analysis”. As with mean value analysis (MVA), in general no state probabilities are needed. Approximation techniques for these schemata similar to those existing for MVA are introduced.
