Abstract

Split and merge configurations of open networks of queues with blocking are analyzed approximately. The approximation procedure developed decomposes these queue networks into individual queues with revised queue capacity and revised arrival and service processes. These individual queues are then analyzed in isolation. The results obtained seem to have an acceptable error level. Stability conditions for these two configurations are also obtained.
