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 rate was reduced. To satisfy these conflicting objectives, a multiobjective genetic algorithm was developed and employed. Thus, our method produced a set of effi...
