Abstract
In Chap. 2 the analysis of queueing performance only involved a single queueing center. Even when more than one queueing center was available, the customer only visited one of them. Such single queueing centers can only be used successfully to represent a single device or elements of a computer system, e.g., a disk device. If the performance analyst is required to assess the interaction of various devices in the complete computer system, the analysis methods presented in Chap. 2 are not sufficient, in general.
