Queueing networks with path-dependent arrival processes.

This paper develops a Gaussian model for an open network of queues having a path-dependent net-input process, whose evolution depends on its early history, and satisfies a non-ergodic law of large numbers. We show that the Gaussian model arises as the heavy-traffic limit for a sequence of open queueing networks, each with a multivariate generalization of a Polya arrival process. We show that the net-input and queue-length processes for the Gaussian model satisfy non-ergodic laws of large numbers with tractable distributions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
