A signed pledge from each individual should be submitted to the course instructor well in advance of the handin for this problem set. Hand in hard-copy answers in some secure package to the 354 drop box or bring it in person at the beginning of the tutorial. CSIM programs should be able to be compiled and run properly on cdf . Check the newsgroup frequently up to the start of silent running, as updated handin requirements or new parameter values may be announced. Sample means of output performance measures will suffice.
All systems start up empty and idle.
Generate the service time of a customer at the time it is initially created. Use a separate stream of random numbers for each source of randomness in a model. In the first in a series of experiments, subject both systems to the same workload pattern of 500 customers, where each customer has a mean service time of 1 time unit and the mean time between customer arrivals is 10 time units. Continue this series of experiments, decrementing the mean time between customer arrivals by 1 unit, until a final experiment for a mean time between customer arrivals of 1 time unit. For maximum queue length for system A and for balking frequency for system B, present tables.
