Abstract

We consider a heavy traffic regime in queueing systems with identical service. These systems belong to the class of multi-phase systems with dependent service times in different service nodes. We study the limit behaviour of the waiting time vector in heavy traffic. Both transient behaviour and the stationary regime are considered. Our analysis is based on the conception of ‘approximated functionals', which appeared to be fruitful in weak convergence theory of stochastic processes.
