Special is of Performance Evaluation on Discretetime Models and Analysis Methods
The past few years have seen an increasing interest in discrete-time models and their solution techniques. One of the driving forces behind this area has been new developments in telecommunications, especially in high-speed metropolitan area and wide area networks. Technological advances and user demands have shifted the evolution of telecommunication systems towards integrated networks where information is transferred in small, often fixed-size, packets, slots or cells (e.g., ATM networks, high-speed LANs and MANs such as DQDB, etc.), operating in a discrete-time environment. The resulting mathematical models of such slotted systems, crucial for the evaluation of design alternatives and their dimensioning, are discrete-time models. The complexity of the stochastic processes involved (e.g., arrival and departure processes) and of the system operation mechanisms (e.g., service mechanism, access protocol, etc.) pose an exciting challenge for the development of efficient and tractable methods for deriving the main performance measures of these systems. Papers are solicited on discrete-time models and their analysis methods, in particular--but not restricted--to the following topics:
-Discrete-time queueing models (polling systems, priority systems, multiserver systems, vacation models, etc.). - Exact and approximate solution methods for discrete-time queueing models, with emphasis on the efficiency and the numerical tractability of these methods. - Stochastic processes as traffic model for performance studies (taking into account the diversity of time scales, correlations between arrivals, etc.). - Discrete-time Markov chains and their analysis methods.
