Topics M/M/1 models and how they can be used Simple Queuing Systems Time-varying parameters Simulation parameters when measurements are not available Appreciation of cost/benefit tradeoffs of a simulation
A hospital emergency department Three queuing systems Reneging Triage process Ambulance entrance
Single Server Queue with Reneging
Priority queue
Tandem queues
Tandem queues and ambulance arrivals
Arrival rate
Mean time to renege
Java Modeling Tools Create three tandem queues with exponential arrival and departures, simulate to find the number of customers in each queue How would you change Queue.java to simulate three queues in tandem?
