Recent applications of Cournot models suggest that fully connected networks are less costly and more welfare-efficient as compared to hub-and-spokes in China's rapidly expanding air traffic system (ATS). The author applies agent-based heuristics to demonstrate that the complexity of China's ATS...

In this paper, the decomposition method for ordinary single class open queueing networks is extended to queueing networks with batch processing. A comparison study with discrete event simulation as benchmark shows that the approach provides fairly good results for a wide range of applications....
