Abstract

An approximate dynamical extension of queueing theory result is described and is applied to Jackson's Networks and to G-Networks. It is shown that the dynamics of these networks may be represented by non-linear compartmental systems which are cooperative for the former case and may sometimes be competitive for the latter. The implications in term of stability are discussed and an illustrative example is provided.
