    Abstract :

    In this paper we discuss some of the crucial aspects of open restricted queueing networkswith special emphasis on the issues of limitations on the capacity of the service provided aswell as on the accommodations of the customers. We review the literature bringing togetherall relevant materials in this problem area. Here we develop the expansion method forapproximating the flow process of customers as they travel through this restricted system.Further we present numerical experiments illustrating the proposed method and conduct acomparative study.
