Abstract
The behaviour in equilibrium of networks of queues is studied. Equilibrium distributions are obtained and in certain cases it is shown that the state of an individual queue is independent of the state of the rest of the network. The processes considered in this paper are irreversible; however, the method used to establish equilibrium distributions is one which has previously only been used when dealing with reversible processes. Results are obtained for models of communication networks, machine interference and birth-illness-death processes.
