A Study of time sharing systems considered as queueing networks of exponential servers
The queueing theory of exponential servers as applied to time sharing computer systems is discussed in detail with respect to response time and throughput. The restriction that only a fixed number of transactions may be processed simultaneously by the computer subsystem is treated, with comparison made among four different approximations.
