Common Waiting

Let's consider the common waiting system as an example were one needs approximate models, including the Monte Carlo. By common waiting we define a system serving calls of different type. We represent them as a call-vector $\lambda=(\lambda_1,...,\lambda_l)$. Different calls are served by different servers. However, there are $r(c)$ of common waiting places. There are no such simple formulas as (2.15) and (2.16) in this case. Therefore we consider two approximate solutions: an analytical model, called as the "reservation" model, and the Monte Carlo one.
