Abstract

The recently published ARGESIM benchmark C22 ’Non-standard Queuing Policies’ studies three queuing models, where the queues utilize more complex policies than the standards FIFO, LIFO or priority. Jockeying queues allow entities to switch to a shorter queue, in reneging queues entities leave a queue after a maximal waiting time, and classing queues change the entity order according to an entity attribute (“class”) at the call of an external operator. To encourage the simulation community to publish benchmark solutions this talk will explain the tasks in some detail and comment on the lessons learned from a first implementation.
