Priority Queueing - Interactive Output Previous Next
The interactive routine for simulation in your IOR Tutorial can be used to reproduce, step by step, the events in the demonstration you have just viewed.
The time line (represented in table form) for the interactive routine for this case (two priority classes and two servers) is shown above. The interactive routine repeats three steps over and over, for as long as you would like to run the simulation. At each step, you are asked to make the key decision. The computer then does all of the necessary calculations and updates the time line. The three decisions that will need to be made are:
  1. Which times now need to be randomly generated?
  2. Which event occurs next?
  3. What is the result of the event?
