Recently Miyazawa and Taylor (1997) proposed a new class of queueing networks with batch arrival batch service and assemble-transfer features. In such networks customers arrive and are served in batches, and may change size when a batch transfers from one node to another. With the assumption of an additional arrival process at each node when it is empty, they obtain a simple product-form steady-state probability distribution, which is a (stochastic) upper bound for the original network. This paper shows that this class of network possesses a set of non-standard partial balance equations, and it is demonstrated that the condition of the additional arrival process introduced by Miyazawa and Taylor is there precisely to satisfy the partial balance equations, i.e. it is necessary and sufficient not only for having a product form solution, but also for the partial balance equations to hold.

Miyazawa and Taylor (1997) introduced a class of assemble-transfer batch service queueing networks which do not have tractable stationary distribution. However by assuming a certain additional arrival process at each node when it is empty, they obtain a geometric product-form stationary distribution which is a stochastic upper bound for the stationary distribution of the original network. In this paper we develop a stochastic lower bound for the original network by introducing an additional departure process at each node which tends to remove all the customers present in it. This model in combination with the aforementioned upper bound model gives a better sense for the properties of the original network.

Number Of Customers

We introduce a batch service discipline, called assemble-transfer batch service, for continuous-time open queueing networks with batch movements. Under this service discipline a requested number of customers is simultaneously served at a node, and transferred to another node as, possibly, a batch of different size, if there are sufficient customers there; the node is emptied otherwise. We assume a Markovian setting for the arrival process, service times and routing, where batch sizes are generally distributed. Under the assumption that extra batches arrive while nodes are empty, and under a stability condition, it is shown that the stationary distribution of the queue length has a geometric product form over the nodes if and only if certain conditions are satisfied for the extra arrivals. This gives a new class of queueing networks which have tractable stationary distributions, and simultaneously shows that the product form provides a stochastic upper bound for the stationary distribution of the corresponding queueing network without the extra arrivals.

This paper extends product form results for queueing networks with signals to allow history-dependent routing. The signals in these models carry information to nodes and induce multiple customers to move simultaneously within the network. Two models are studied in this paper. In the first one we assume that routing probabilities of a departing customer from a given class of nodes depend on the amount of service just received by the customer and whether its departure is the result of an actual service completion or the result of an arriving signal. In the second model we assume that the routing probabilities of a customer depend on the number of times this customer's service has been interrupted by signals in the past as well as the cause of its departure. We show that both models possess simple product form solutions. These results provide a new dimension in modeling and analyzing practical systems.

Product Form Queueing Networks

The traffic equations are the basis for the exact analysis of product form queueing networks, and the approximate analysis of non-product form queueing networks. Conditions characterising the structure of the network that guarantees the existence of a solution for the traffic equations are therefore of great importance. This note shows that the new condition stating that each transition is covered by a minimal closed support T-invariant, is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a solution for the traffic equations for batch routing queueing networks and stochastic Petri nets.

Open Question

A product form solution for the optimal fractions of divisible load to distribute to processors in a multi-level tree network is described. Here optimality involves parallel processing the load in a minimal amount of time. This tractable solution is similar to the product form solution for equilibrium state probabilities arising in Markovian queueing networks. The existence of this product form solution answers a long standing open question for divisible load scheduling.
