This thesis is devoted to the construction and analysis of models which can be used to evaluate the performance and reliability of distributed systems. The general object of the research therefore is to extend the types of queueing models with breakdowns which have been solved, with a particular interest in networking structures. The systems that are studied involve various collections of servers and their associated queues. These range from isolated nodes, though parallel nodes coupled by the effect of breakdowns on arrivals, to pipelines of such parallel stages and more general networks. The issues that are explored include the influence of breakdowns and repairs on delays, job losses and optimal routeing. Obtaining performance measures for interacting queues is difficult, however a degree of abstraction has been used here which allows long run averages to be calculated (exactly in many cases) for quite complex systems. A variety of different techniques are used in order to obtain solutions to these models, including exact equations, exact numerical and approximate numerical techniques.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / The role of recorders in telemetry applications has undergone many changes throughout the years. We’ve seen the evolution from multi-track tape to disk to solid state technologies, both for airborne and ground based equipment. Data acquisition and collection system design has changed as well and a recent trend in airborne is to merge acquisition and recording. On the ground, increased decentralization of data collection and processing has generated the requirement to provide backup storage to protect against communication circuit outages. This paper explores the trend to adopt network based data acquisition, collection, and distribution systems for telemetry applications and the impact on recording techniques and equipment. It shows that in this emerging approach the recorder returns to its root mission of attempting to provide the fastest, largest capacity for the least amount of investment. In a network based architecture the recorder need only accept and reproduce data operating independently from the acquisition process.
