Abstract

A method for dynamic control of service rates in closed exponential queuing networks is proposed. The performance of queuing networks with the service-rate control is analyzed, and the main steady-state network characteristics are computed using an analytic approximation. A simple example of a queuing network with controlled service rates is considered as an illustration. The efficiency of the service-rate control is confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations, which, as a by-product, also show acceptable accuracy of our analytical approximations.
