Application of Proxels to Queuing Simulation

چکیده
Queuing theory strives to provide analytical solutions to a number of queuing problems. Unfortunately, closed analytical expressions can not be derived for every type of queuing system. Discrete event simulation on the other hand can find solutions to any kind of queuing problem, but the results are stochastic and only specific to a single parameterization. Proxel simulation can bridge the gap between these two methods by providing accurate deterministic results of the performance measures of a wide range of queuing systems. Furthermore one can solve some stiff problems far more quickly than when using discrete event simulation. The paper presents the general approach and a tool implementing the Proxel-based simulation of queuing systems. Experiments validate the method and show the range of applicability.

متن کاملApplication of queuing theory in production-inventory optimization
This paper presents a mathematical model for an inventory control system in which customers’ demands and suppliers’ service time are considered as stochastic parameters. The proposed problem is solved through queuing theory for a single item. In this case, transitional probabilities are calculated in steady state. Afterward, the model is extended to the case of multi-item inventory systems. The...

The simulation of discrete stochastic models using state space-based methods has recently become practical through the proxel-based simulation algorithm. Proxels implement the method of supplementary variables and generate a DTMC of the model’s state space. However, due to state space explosion the method does not yet work efficiently on larger models. By using discrete phase-type approximation...
