Computation of the normalising constant for product-form models of distributed systems with synchronisation

“…Many works rely on queueing systems to study distributed architectures (see, e.g., [2,3] for some recent references) but due to their very abstract level of representation of resource contention, Markovian queueing networks (QNs) find a wider application (see, e.g., [4,5,6]). Under mild conditions, Markovian queueing networks admit a product-form solution, i.e., the expression of the stationary distribution can be derived without resorting to the explicit solution of the Markov chain underlying the model.…”
