A Novel View of the Drift
Daniela Hurtado-Lange, Siva Theja Maguluri · ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review · 2019
The drift method has been recently developed to study queueing systems in heavy traffic [3]. This method was successfully used to obtain the heavy traffic scaled sum queue lengths of several systems, even when the so-called complete resource pooling condition is not satisfied. In this poster, we present a novel view of the drift method to explain why this methodworks.We believe that this view can be exploited to obtain the joint distribution of the steady-state heavy-traffic scaled queue lengths.
