    public class Queue
    extends ServiceStation implements Serializable
                        

    A queueing station that processes jobs according to various scheduling strategies.

    The Queue node is the fundamental service station in queueing networks. It models a system where jobs wait in a buffer and are processed by one or more servers according to a scheduling strategy. Common examples include CPU schedulers, disk I/O queues, network routers, and service desks.

    Key features:

    • Multiple scheduling strategies: FCFS, PS, LCFS, priority-based, etc.
    • Single or multi-server configurations
    • Load-dependent and class-dependent service rates
    • Support for preemptive and non-preemptive policies
    • Polling server capabilities with various polling types
    • Switchover times between job classes

        Returns:

        true if a service process exists for this job class, false otherwise

      • getSchedPolicy

         SchedStrategyType getSchedPolicy()

        Gets the scheduling policy type (preemptive or non-preemptive).

        Returns:

        The scheduling policy type (PR for preemptive, NP for non-preemptive)

      • getSchedStrategy

         SchedStrategy getSchedStrategy()

        Gets the scheduling strategy used by this queue.

        Returns:

        The scheduling strategy (e.g., FCFS, PS, LCFS, etc.)

      • getSchedStrategyPar

         double getSchedStrategyPar(JobClass jobClass)

        Gets the scheduling strategy parameter for a specific job class.

        For strategies like DPS (Discriminatory Processor Sharing) and GPS (Generalized Processor Sharing), this returns the weight or priority parameter for the job class.

        Parameters:
        jobClass - The job class to get the parameter for
        Returns:

        The scheduling parameter value, or 0.0 if not set

         Distribution getService(JobClass jobClass)

        Gets the service time distribution for a specific job class.

        Parameters:
        jobClass - The job class to get the service distribution for
        Returns:

        The service time distribution for this job class

      • printSummary

         void printSummary()

        Prints a summary of this queue's configuration to standard output.

        The summary includes the queue name, service processes for each job class, their mean service times and squared coefficients of variation, number of servers, and output routing configuration.

      • setClassDependence

         void setClassDependence(SerializableFunction<Matrix, Double> beta)

        Sets a class-dependent scaling function for service rates.

        The function takes a matrix representing the number of jobs of each class at the station and returns a scaling factor for the service rate. This enables modeling of systems where service rates depend on the job mix.

        Parameters:
        beta - A function that maps job class populations to a service rate scaling factor
      • setLoadDependence

         void setLoadDependence(Matrix alpha)

        Sets load-dependent service rate scaling factors.

        Each element alpha[n] specifies the service rate scaling when there are n jobs at the station. This enables modeling of systems where performance degrades under load.

        Parameters:
        alpha - A matrix of scaling factors indexed by the number of jobs
      • setNumberOfServers

         void setNumberOfServers(int numberOfServers)

        Sets the number of servers at this queueing station.

        For infinite server (IS) queues, this method has no effect as they always have unlimited servers.

        Parameters:
        numberOfServers - The number of parallel servers (must be positive)
      • setSchedStrategyPar

         void setSchedStrategyPar(JobClass jobClass, double weight)

        Sets the scheduling strategy parameter for a specific job class.

        For weighted scheduling strategies (DPS, GPS, etc.), this sets the weight or priority parameter that determines the job class's share of the service capacity.

        Parameters:
        jobClass - The job class to set the parameter for
        weight - The scheduling parameter value (e.g.
