— Due to enormous complexity of the unstructured peer-to-peer networks as large-scale, self-configure, and dynamic systems, the models used to characterize these systems are eit...
The present paper deals with the problem of calculating mean delays in polling systems with either exhaustive or gated service. We develop a mean value analysis (MVA) to compute t...
