Simulation and Modelling

Notes 7.5 Keywords

Computer Simulation: The computer simulation is a method that demonstrates dynamically the
structure and the behaviors of a system.

Discrete Event: Discrete event is a technique used to model the real-world scenarios.
7.6 Self Assessment

Fill in the blanks:
1. The arrivals occur one at a time in a random order and once the customer joins the
………………… he will eventually receive the service.
2. The arrival pattern of consumers to the service system is categorized into two groups:
………………… and dynamic.

3. The ………………… queuing system can be seen in places such as banks and post offices,
where one single queue will diverge into a few counters.
4. The purpose of using simulation technique to analyze the collected data is to avoid costly
design errors, and to analyze the behaviors of the ………………… systems.
5. Each event has a ………………… corresponding to the wall-clock time when it occurs.
6. A good perceptive of the relationship between ………………… and delay is essential for
designing effective congestion control algorithms.
7. Queuing Theory occurs from the use of powerful ………………… analysis.
8. Queuing Theory with its fine-tuned analysis offers a base for a to some extent simplified
and simpler to use set of tools called ………………… and Simulation.
9. The behaviors of a system with computer in order to ………………… and predict the effect
of the behaviors of some system and provide information for decision.
10. The computer simulation is a quite effective way for solve the ………………… and analyzing
the performances of the queuing system.

11. In the ………………… super-market, there is a cash desk, and customers reaches the desk
in random.
12. The creation of random number it is desired to describe ………………… factors in the
objective process in nearly all of the simulation process.
13. The entity is limited or limitless, and the arrival of the entity is in individual or in
…………………
14. The queuing problem is a problem about a balance between average ………………… and
idle time of server.

15. The queuing character, the ………………… the service organization become more and
more complex so that the parsing method nearly can't be obtain.

7.7 Review Questions

1. Find out the difference between single-channel and multiple-channels queuing systems.

2. “In the queuing model two types of events are used, namely arrival and departure.”
Elaborate.
