Abstract
The Buffer Allocation Problem (BAP) is a nonlinear, multi-objective on e in integer variables and there exists no closed-form solution for th e objective function. An efficient and effective search methodology is utilized to generate sub-optimal solutions to the problem for series, merge, and split topologies with M/M/C/K queueing stations. Computati onal results demonstrate the effectiveness of this search methodology. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
