Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to show how to use in practice the strong stability method and also to prove its efficiency. That is why we chose the $GI/M/1$ model for which there exist analytical results.

For this purpose, we first determine the approximation conditions of the characteristics of the $GI/M/1$ system. Under these conditions, we obtain the stability inequalities of the stationary distribution of the queue size.

We finally elaborate upon an algorithm for the approximation of the $GI/M/1$ system by the $M/M/1$ system, which calculates the approximation error with an exact computation. In order to give some idea about its application in practice, we give a numerical example.

The accuracy of the approach is evaluated by comparison with some known exact results.
