Closed G-networks with Resets: product form solution

Abstract

We consider a closed queueing network of generalized queues with customers and signals. each queue has an infinite capacity and one server. the service time is exponential. after its service completion a customer moves to another queue and may become a signal. when the signal enters a non empty queue it vanishes while it resets the queue when it enters an empty queue. we prove that the steady state-distribution for such a closed network of queues has a product form solution. to the best of our knowledge it is the first closed network of generalized queues with product form solution. we also consider a more complex system where the reset acts upon a set of queues rather than a single one. we also prove that the steady-state distribution exists and has a product form.
