Such systems do not enjoy a product form solution, thus their analysis is typically carried out through approximate mean value analysis (AMVA) techniques. We formalise the problem in PEPA in a way amenable to differential analysis. Experimental results show that our approach is competitive with simulation and AMVA methods.} }
