Teaching Note - Fitting a Theoretical Model to a Real Queue
نویسنده
چکیده
A carefully structured practical queue-modelling assignment improves the understanding of queueing theory and teaches modelling and data-analysis skills. The assignment also demonstrates that it may be better to use models to estimate operating characteristics such as mean waiting times, even in circumstances where the system in question and the characteristics can be directly observed.

Diffusion Process for GGR Machining System with Spares, Balking and Reneging (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper deals with the G/G/R machining system consisting of M operating machines as well as S cold standbys. The concepts of balking and reneging are incorporated which make our model more versatile to deal with real time systems. The broken-down machines are sent to repair facilities consisting of R permanent repairmen. The failure times and repair times are generally identical and independ...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Analysis for G/G/1 Queuing System (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This paper provides steady state queue-size distribution for a G/G/1 queue by using principle of maximum entropy. For this purpose we have used average queue length and normalizing condition as constraints to derive queue-size distribution. Our results give good approximation as demonstrated by taking a numerical illustration. In particular case when square coefficient of variation of inter-arr...
متن کاملFitting Theory into Reality in the ALTQ case
The ALTQ project started as a challenge to implement various theoretical QoS mechanisms onto the existing open source operating systems running on commodity PC hardware. In the course of the ALTQ development, we have faced a number of limitations and complexities imposed by hardware and software. These practical issues are often overlooked by research people. This paper examines gaps between th...
متن کاملThe Clinical Teaching Role of Nursing Teachers
Introduction: Clinical Education is the essential part of nursing education. Because the nursing teachers' clinical role is not clearly defined, this study was designed to understand the clinical role and its process in nursing teachers. Methods: This was a qualitative research (Grounded Theory) in which 15 nursing teachers of five nursing schools participated based on theoretical sampling. Th...
متن کاملM M m K Queue With Additional Servers and Discouragement (RESEARCH NOTE)
Waiting in long queue is undesirable due to which in some practical situations customers become impatient and leave the system. In such cases providing additional servers can reduce long queue. This investigation deals with multi-server queueing system with additional servers and discouragement. The customers arrive in poisson fashion and are served exponentially by a pool of permanent and addi...
