Throughput maximization of queueing networks with simultaneous minimization of service rates and buffers.

Abstract
Throughput maximization of queueing networks with simultaneous minimization of service rates and buffers The throughput of an acyclic, general-service time queueing network was optimized, and the total number of buffers and the overall service r ate w as reduced. To satisfy t hese conflicting objectives, a multiobjective genetic algorithm w as developed and employed. Thus, our method produced a set of efficient solutions f or more than one objective in t he objective f unction. A comprehensive set of computational experiments w as conducted to determine t he efficacy and efficiency of the proposed approach. Interesting insights obtained from the analysis of a complex network may assist practitioners in planning general-service queueing networks.
