QueGauss v1.0

A discrete simulation module for GAUSS
Forward Computing and Control Pty. Ltd.

QueGauss allows you to simulate discrete systems involving queues. These include such things as phone exchanges, manufacturing processes and hospital patient services. Using QueGauss you can examine the statistics of waiting times, transit times and utilization of resources.

QueGauss consists of items, event procedures and queues. Items are the things that flow through the model. You can define any number of item types each with their own attributes (both numeric and character). Event procedures are GAUSS procedures that process the items. Queues are available to store items that are waiting to be processed. Print procedures are provided to display the contents of items and queues using user defined formats. Statistics averaged over time, automatically collected by the accumulator

Features:

• Basic Statistics are automatically collected for all items and queues.
  
  
• Accumualtors can be defined to collect other statistics.
  
  
• Plots of the variations in statistics as well as frequency tables can also be accumulated.
  
  
• A wide range of built-in-distributions:- exponential (Poisson), Erlang, Hyper-exponential, Normal, Uniform and Integral Uniform.
  
  
• Access to all of GAUSS programming, data handling and plotting functions.
  
  
• Random samples of any distribution (discrete or continuous) can be obtained given its distribution.
  
  
• Extensive error checking build-in which can be disabled for faster runs.
  
  
• Intelligent printing functions to display items and queues.
  
  
• Verbose mode which allows you to trace backwards and forwards through the simulation's executions.
  
  
• Transit and Markitem procedures to determine the transit time of items.
  
  
• Number of items in existence at one time limited only by memory.
  
  
• Memory compaction allows unlimited number of items during the course of the simulation.
  
  
• The start up phase of a simulation can be easily ignored.
