Engineering Research Deployment Teaching Initiative: A Software Package for Rapid Analysis of Queueing Systems (RAQS)

9311357本项目的目的是为了解决本科阶段缺乏教学资源的问题，并支持研究生阶段在排队网络理论与应用领域正在进行的研究和教学工作。另一个主要目标是让学生在使用排队网络进行性能建模方面做好更好的准备，这样他们就可以帮助行业有效地利用性能分析工具和包来管理他们的运营。这项工作将为学生在系统分析和设计领域的准备做出重大贡献。它将通过在使用排队网络的性能建模领域弥合研究和教学之间的差距来实现这一目标。通过了解性能分析领域的最新发展，学生将能够帮助行业有效地利用这一技术。使用目前可用的商业软件工具，他们可以帮助工业在全球环境中保持竞争力。就工程教育而言，这种努力将有助于获得生产或制造系统设计所急需的科学基础。它也有可能在实践中大大增加排队理论的使用。

9311357 The purpose of this project is to address the lack of instructional resources as the undergraduate level and to support the ongoing research and teaching efforts at the graduate level in the area of queueing network theory and applications. Another major objective is to be better prepare students in the area of performance modeling using queueing networks, so that they can help industry to make effective use of performance analysis tools and packages in managing their operations. The work will make a significant contribution to the preparation of students in the systems analysis and design area. It will do so by bridging the gap between research and instruction in the area of performance modeling using queueing networks. With exposure to recent developments in the performance analysis area, students will be able to help industry in making effective use of this technology. Using currently available commercial software tools they can then help industry to remain competitive in the global environment. With regard to engineering education, this effort will contribute to the attainment of a much needed science base for production or manufacturing systems design. It also has the potential for greatly increasing the use of queueing theory in practice.
