Examples of using the RESearch Queueing Package Modeling Environment (RESQME)

Abstract

The RESearch Queueing Package Modeling Environment (RESQME) is a system which provides an integrated, graphics-oriented, performance evaluation workstation environment for constructing, maintaining, revising and evaluating performance models of resource contention systems. In this paper we discuss examples illustrating its use and emphasize the iterative nature of the modeling process. Scenarios of model specification, selection and use of confidence interval methods, and model output analysis are introduced.
