Popis: Queuing network models have been extensively used for performance evaluation in many modern manufacturing and communication systems. The phenomenon of feedback reflects many practical situations, e.g. reworking in the production systems. However, existing research on open queuing network with feedback mainly concentrates on the models with infinite buffers or the models with finite buffers but exponentially distributed inter-arrival and service times. Research on open queuing networks with finite buffers, feedback and general inter-arrival and service times has not been reported. In this paper, a Rate Iterative Method embedded with the Generalised Expansion Method, is proposed for modelling this type of queuing network. System performance measures include the mean throughput, work-in-process and sojourn time all calculated by the proposed method. The accuracy and the efficiency of the proposed method are tested by comparing the results with other methods or simulation results from the experiments. Finally...
