The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

In this paper a class of closed queueing network is modelled in the Markovian process algebra PEPA. It is shown that a fluid flow approximation using ordinary differential equations (ODEs) gives rise to well known asymptotic results. This result gives context to the use of a fluid flow approximation and is potentially useful in cases where the model is not obviously a closed queueing network. The approach is illustrated using examples of a secure key distribution centre and a multi-user query processing system.
