The paper presents the simulation results of the comparison of three Queuing Mechanisms, First in First out (FIFO), Priority Queuing (PQ), and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ). Depending on their effects on the network’s Routers, the load of any algorithm of them over Router’s CPUs and memory usage, the delay occurred between routers when any algorithm has been used and the network application throu...

Queuing models provide an attractive and highly-efficient alternative to simulation for quantifying traffic flow efficiency. Stationary Markovian queuing models in which both inter-arrival times and service times are exponentially distributed have been studied by the National Airspace System (NAS). However, stationary queues cannot account for peaks and valleys in demand that are commonly obser...

Queuing is common in urban public places. Automatically monitoring and predicting queuing time can not only help individuals to reduce their wait time and alleviate anxiety but also help managers to allocate resources more efficiently and enhance their ability to address emergencies. This paper proposes a novel method to estimate and predict queuing time in indoor environments based on WiFi pos...

A queuing system, is a dynamical system whose state evolves in time by the occurrence of events at possibly irregular time intervals. Placetransitions Petri nets (commonly called Petri nets) are a graphical and mathematical modeling tool applicable to queuing systems in order to represent its states evolution. Timed Petri nets are an extension of Petri nets, where now the timing at which the st...

Customer impatience has a very negative impact on the queuing system under investigation. If we talk from business point of view, the firms lose their potential customers due to customer impatience, which affects their business as a whole. If the firms employ certain customer retention strategies, then there are chances that a certain fraction of impatient customers can be retained in the queui...

Process-driven spreadsheet queuing simulation is a better vehicle for understanding queue behavior than queuing theory or dedicated simulation software. Spreadsheet queuing simulation has many pedagogical benefits in a business school end-user modeling course, including developing students' intuition , giving them experience with active modeling skills, and providing access to tools. Spreadshee...
