The single server queue in discrete time-numerical analysis IV

The nonlinear difference equation for the distribution of the busy period for an unbounded discrete time queue of M|G| 1 type is solved numerically by a monotone iterative procedure. A starting solution is found by computing a first passage time distribution in a truncated version of the queue.     

The fast deployment logistic ship project: Economic design and decision technique

This paper describes the way in which economic analyses, particularly life-cycle cost analyses and tradeoffs were structured for use as an integrated analysis and design technique at all levels of the Contract Definition of the Fast Deployment Logistic Ship. It describes system, subsystem and major component economic analysis and design methodology as well as economic analyses of special subjects such as the ship production facility design. Illustrations are provided of several major system parametric studies and of shipyard and manning/automation analyses.
